The following information is from the 1970 Jeremy Talbot guide to Gower:
Nicholaston Woods are known locally as Crawley Woods. This is a delightful little area of small crags situated about ½ mile west along the beach by Nicholaston Burrows. Once a popular training area, it has been fairly extensively climbed on by A.Osborn, B.Taylor and at a later date, by J.O.Talbot. Today it is out of fashion and profuse vegetation holds sway. No climbs are given in this area in the guide book. Access is easy from Tor Bay East or Oxwich. [1]
Since 1970 there is even more "profuse vegetation" . However, the place is probably worth exploring.
ACCESS
Easiest access is from the beach.
