Restricted Access

St. Anchorites Rock main crag is close to the South West Coastal Path (20-30m) but apparantly on private land.  There is a sign stating no climbing. There have been reports of climbers being asked to leave.  Be discrete and comply with any landowner instructions. 

As mentioned in the access notes, fences have been put up with signs stating "PRIVATE No public right of way" in the field above the Hermit Arete bouldering. The boulders themselves are not in this field, but on the 'coastal slope' to its south. Again be discrete and comply with any landowner instructions. As of March 2025 the area seemed to be being used for pheasant breeding and probably shooting. Use common sense.

The DWS is tidal so has no private land problems onced you get down to the sea, but be discreet as you hop over the stone wall as this is not a public right of way.

5m. Ironic problem naming continues. The slab on the backside of the block. Nice moves. Not a big landing zone.
