ACCESS

Park at the Dunraven Car Park.

If approaching at dead low tide, head across the beach and over the tip to land at the Sea Walls.

At any other time, follow the road and path (past the castle), and then a right fork (into the woods).

Once at the viewing point (past the right fork), continue for 50 m to a wooden gate on the left. Go through the gate, up the steps, and you will shortly reach the path to the beach (on the left), or, continuing for a little while longer meet a rusty iron kissing gate (directly above the Cave Inlets area). This point can also be reached by following clifftop footpaths over the headland and striking back towards the woods at the opposite cliff edge.

Continue east(R) along the foreshore from First Inletuntil below the broad fisherman's ledge there are several crozzly crack lines (climbed already but unrecorded) until just level with the large sea washed block.
