Conditions of Access for Climbing on Lee Cliff, Lee Abbey Estate:
1. The cliff forms part of an SSSI and no damage to its flora, fauna, or geology should be caused.
2. The cliff is a nesting-site for auks and birds of prey. Climbing must not take place between 1 April and 30 June.
3. Climbers must be in possession of valid civil liability insurance with cover up to £10 million. (This is included in membership of the BMC or Mountaineering Council of Scotland and can be obtained independantly.)
4. All climbers must, before climbing, report to Lee Abbey reception where they should sign the visitors’ book. If leaving a vehicle in Lee Abbey’s car park they must also supply their vehicle’s registration number.
5. Climbers must follow the way off from the cliff top described in detail below. This is the only permitted way off, which minimizes impact on the site including any disturbance to residents and visitors. On no account should anyone attempt to traverse from the way off eastwards towards the Valley of Rocks or climb over fences other than the single fence identified.
6. Climbers are welcome to park their cars at Lee Abbey car park when climbing on Lee Cliff, subject to spaces available. The approved way off the cliff-top takes you back to this car park.
7. Anyone climbing on Lee Abbey land does so entirely at their own risk, in line with the Participation Statement of the British Mountaineering Council.
