Ynysdeullyn Craig Ddu

Pembroke North

Ynysdeullyn consists of two offshore pinnacles, accessible at low tide. Take care with rock on the landward side of the pinnacles - very friable. Single- and multi-pitch routes up to 200ft, more notable for the sense of adventure than amazing climbing.Craig Ddu is tidal (accessible low-mid tide); good for Beckoning Light (E2 5c*).

Parking and Approach

Tidal - accessible low tide.Take the minor road NW from the A487 through the village of Mathry. Very Limited parking near the harbour, esp in summer. Please do not block access in Abercastle - there are on-going parking problems here.

Area information

Less frequented than the south, there are some very popular cliffs along the southern bays of St David's, but also some very remote and atmospheric cliffs further north. Wildlife is abundant and the abscence of a formal restriction does not mean that protected birds are not present - so climbers are asked to be observant and avoid routes if the prescence of climbers is obviously causing disturbance to the birds. Many of the bays are also important seal breeding areas - if breeding seals are present then again please avoid.
