Letting the Landmark Trust know you are a climber when you book your ferry and accommodation doesn't get this information through to the warden so drop in and say hello when you arrive.Ī number of rockfalls have affected several crags along the west coast in recent years – please see the CC guidebook supplement for details on what has been affected. Please check in as a climber with the Lundy Warden on arrival for up to date access information on extended or lifted climbing restrictions, recent rockfall etc. Accommodation details can be obtained from the Landmark Trust (Tel: 01628 825925).
