Part of a South Downs path that has become "unsafe" has been closed.
A section of the Egrets Way path near Lewes has been temporarily closed between the railway underpass and Ham Lane.
The closure is necessary for public safety due to "unsafe" trees, the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) said.
A spokesman said: "The route will be reopened as soon as possible once the trees have been made safe.
"We are sorry for any inconvenience."

A diversion is in place for pedestrians and cyclists.
The seven-mile path connects Lewes to Newhaven. It starts at Newhaven’s Riverside Park and follows the course of the River Ouse north to Lewes, passing close to the villages of Piddinghoe and Southease.
At Lewes it loops inland to link up with the villages of Kingston, on to Swanborough and Iford and then to Rodmell where it joins up again with the Ouse.
The route takes the user on a journey through landscapes that are "as archaeologically fascinating as they are naturally captivating".
