Undercliff Walk Temporarily Closed After Recent Chalk Fall

Brighton and Hove council have closed the Undercliff along the seafront between Brighton and Saltdean after a significant chalk fall over the weekend.

Although most of Undercliff Walk is closed, the public can still access the beach, Molly’s Café, and Whitecliffes Café via the Rottingdean Ramp and Saltdean subway.  

B and H council said, “Due to constant and significant chalk fall, we have taken the decision to temporarily close the Undercliff Walk to protect the health and safety of those who use it.”

“We will reopen the Undercliff as soon as possible, but only when there is no longer a risk to public safety.” 

“Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
