SUSPECTED human bones have been found by hikers at a popular tourist beach used to film Doctor Who and Poldark.

The gruesome discovery happened after an ancient wall collapsed near Dunraven Bay in the Vale of Glamorgan yesterday evening.

Walkers along a scenic coastal path came across the fallen wall - noticing the suspected human remains.

Cops scrambled to the sea front at 7pm and have cordoned it off while forensic experts examine the bones.
