A couple who went missing overnight on the coast path between Poppit and Newport have been found safe and well.

Andrew and Mary Barbour sparked a massive sea, coast and air search after they failed to arrive at Newport youth hostel last night.

The couple had left Poppit, saying they intended to walk to Newport and stay there overnight.

When they didn't arrive the alarm was raised and emergency services were tasked at 3am today.

The couple have now been found: because of yesterday's bad weather they decided to change their plans and stay at a different location.
