Cwm Ivy Tor



TIDAL STATUS

Non-Tidal.

BOLTING POLICY

No bolting.

ACCESS

From the parking at Llanmadoc, walk down the minor road into the hamlet of Cwm Ivy. From the end of the road, follow the continuation path for about 10 minutes until the (rather unimpressive) crag is seen up on the left.

No one seems to climb here which, if you look at the photo, is not surprising. The place is also situated in a SSSI.

DESCENTS

Unknown.

THE ROUTES
