The limestone seacliffs of Pembrokeshire provide some of the UK's finest traditional climbing.

Many of the cliffs are subject to access restrictions due to them being on military land. We now have news from Steve Quinton that there is no firing between the 6th of April and the 21st, meaning that access will be open to the popular Range East area each day, and for those that have attended a briefing to allow them in to Range West, access will be available there too.

Steve would like to mention a thanks to Lynne Houlston (National Park/MoD ranger) for the info.

//www.gov.uk/government/publications/castlemartin-firing-notice--2 The news isn't good - weekends only I'm afraid. It's possible that on the days when there is no night firing you'll be able to get in after 4.30 or so, but you'd have to phone the guard house to confirm this.

good news as I'm heading down next week and haven't climbed in either area; could someone help?- with Range East is it just a case of just being able to climb in the area and Range West are there set times for the briefings or do you have to book one or can you just be careful and going climbing with firing not happening. Thanks in advance

Yes, Range East you just turn up and climb as long as the range is open. There are three briefings a year for Range West, and the next one is in May so you won't be able to climb there.
