Hard closure on the Stacks (kittiwake, guillemot, razorbill colony). Also covers Flimston Ridge W face, Cauldron, and Green Bridge of Wales. Range West requires an annual BMC briefing for access — only open on non-firing days (most weekends, August, and 2 weeks Easter/Christmas).
Spectacular limestone sea stacks and headlands in Range West. Major seabird colony — restricted most of the year. Requires Range West briefing for access. Best window: August (range usually open all month and bird ban lifted from mid-Aug).
