Groups of tourists continue to stand too close to the edge of crumbling cliffs.

Visitors have been flocking to Birling Gap with the continued hot weather, and many of them have been pictured standing too close to the edge of eroding cliffs.

 In February tonnes of rubble and chalk from the cliffs fell onto the beach below.

At the time, a spokesman from the Lewes District Council said: " The East Sussex chalk cliffs are unstable and crumble without warning at any time of year.

"We would remind anyone heading to the coast to stay well away from cliff edges and bases, and to follow the advice of the signs and posters highlighting the dangers displayed along cliff-top walks, bus routes, at visitor car parks, tourist information centres and on community notice boards throughout the year."

Birling Gap near Seaford was recently named by The Times and Sunday Times Best UK Beaches Guide as one of the top 50 beaches in the UK and one of the seven best beaches in the south of the country.
