Parts of Craig y Don (as listed on UKC) have access restrictions:

Craig y Don - Lower and Middle
BMC RAD entry for Lower Craig y Don (inc. Craig y Don Middle)

Restrictions apply from 1 March - 15 August.
Reason: Nesting Birds (Kittiwakes, which tend to be late nesters).

These restrictions do not apply to the DWS routes listed on this page, Ledgend (provided the boat approach is used) and The Tide is High (But I'm Holding On) rightward to the Don Side Beach routes, i.e. including The Heel Hook Look. All these routes start and finish well to the right of the nesting areas.

No restrictions.

See BMC RAD entries for:

An earlier exit from the Heel Hook traverse, a few metres right of Small Town Boy. Just before crossing the first steep scoop, go up using a right hand sidepull.
