Description

Situated just east of Langland Bay, this venue provides steep bouldering on immaculate rock, with good landings. Approach from either Langland, or via a crumbling old building at the back of the bay. The climbing is on the West side of the bay. The Caswell bus passes close by. Affected by high tides.
