LUNDY

This title is currently out of print and a new and fully revised edition is in preparation, in the meantime South West Climbs Volume 2 includes all the best climbing on Lundy and we are offering it at a very special price. You may like to consider buying our South West Climbs Set which also includes Volume 1 covering the Wye Valley, the Bristol area, The Mendips and Dorset.

Lying off the North Devon coast Lundy is a superb place to climb but a trip needs advance planning as annual nesting restrictions close many of the crags in the spring, accommodation is at a premium and the ferry does not run every day. There is a strong feeling of isolation on the island, if you make the effort to visit you are certain to have a great time.

The west coast of the island is very rugged with many fine granite crags and there is a magnificent collection of adventurous routes, perhaps the most famous route is the impressive Devil’s Slide (HS) but if you spend a week here you will barely scratch the surface and are sure to want to return. One particularly memorable feature of climbing on Lundy is the approaches to many of the crags, taking a 100m static abseil rope is advisable.

PLEASE NOTE: Abseil stakes are NOT to be placed on the grass slope above the descents. Lundy is an SSSI and the approaches to all the cliffs on the island can be safeguarded with enough rope and common sense. If we are to continue enjoying the very good relationship we have with Lundy and the Landmark Trust then climbers are requested not place any further stakes or leave unnecessary abseil slings in place.
