Checks before departure

The parking and viewing area can be a night arrival point, but cliff edges, exposure, and strong wind require separate checks. Do not depart until current CWA warnings pass.

Current access notices

Stay well back from cliff edges after dark; risk rises sharply in strong wind on the exposed plateau.
