But the Foreign Office continued to advise against all travel in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, including the Upper Kodori Valley and areas where Russian troops are deployed, such as Poti, Senaki and Zugdidi.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "The situation in Georgia, including Tbilisi, is now calmer.

"You should exercise caution if travelling along the M27 road, particularly around Gori and Kutaisi.

"There is some risk from unexploded ordnance in areas in which fighting took place or in military installations where Russian troops were present.

"You should avoid these areas until they are reported as having been cleared.

"On August 24 an unexplained explosion near the railway line at Skra, 10km west of Gori, destroyed a fuel train. You should avoid this rail route for the time being.

"There remains a risk of local volunteer militia or criminal activity in these areas, and around Akhelgori. You should take all necessary steps to protect your safety."

All British nationals in Georgia should register with the British Embassy, and check Foreign Office travel advice regularly.
