A set of well-preserved dinosaur footprints have been uncovered on a beach at a seaside resort.

The prints were found at Yaverland, Isle of Wight, by engineers looking at sea defence plans for the seafront.

They are thought to belong to a mantellisaurus, a three-toed, seven metre (23ft) long plant-eating dinosaur.

The Environment Agency said the fossils, dating back 125 million years, were exposed during excavation work near a beachside cafe, a car park and a bus stop.
