The location of the fallen casualty proved difficult for emergency services to evacuate the casualty to the awaiting North West Ambulance Service (NWAS).
The inshore rescue lifeboat was also in attendance but was stood down en route to the scene.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service specialist rope team attended to extricate the casualty from the rocky cliff into the awaiting RNLI hovercraft.
After a short transfer in the hovercraft the casualty was handed over to NWAS for further assessment.
