Blue Bell Hill resident Richard Rodgers said it was just the latest incident in which a foreign coach or lorry had accidentally ended up stuck in the village.

"It should have gone down Blue Bell Hill but it turned left into the village," he said. "It's grounded out at the bottom of Mill Lane. There's a dip in the road, and the towbar has got jammed in the tarmac.

"It's completely stuck and blocking the road. It will cause problems because there's no way out of the village. Someone's got to jack it up."

As for the Danish holidaymakers, it seems the holiday isn't quite over.

"They're just standing around taking in the views of Blue Bell Hill," added Mr Rodgers. "It's a lovely area."
