Access to the cliffs was restricted following chalk falls in the area

The Undercliff Walk from Brighton to Rottingdean was closed in 2001 when rock fell from the cliff but the site has since been stabilised.

A spokeswoman for the council said the walk was expected to reopen in three to four weeks.

But she added it may be closed during winter months when rain and frost could cause chalk pieces to fall.

A risk assessment was carried out following the stabilisation work.

She said: "We are pleased it's reopening because it's a popular coastal walk."
