PREAMBLE
This cliff was a sheet of limestone on the hill behind the Mumbles Conservative Club. Unfortunately it has been netted over and turned into a construction site. The following routes are recorded for historical purposes only. Or has it?
ACCESS
From Swansea go into Mumbles, park opposite Conservative Club. Follow path beside it and scramble up the earthy bank to the crag. NB - in a residential area: don't give them reason to complain.
Now believed to be inaccessible.
