About Tilly Whim Caves

Tilly Wall (VS 4c), Cave Route (E1 5b), Channel View (VS)","Tilly Whim Caves is a historic coastal quarrying site located near Anvil Point lighthouse within Durlston Country Park near Swanage. The rock character features dark, wave-cut limestone with steep vertical walls, sharp pocket breaks, and deep quarried ledges above the sea. Facing south, the crag gets full sun and dries quickly in open air, though sea spray from big Atlantic swells can drench low platforms. Route choices offer adventurous traditional climbing from Severe up to E-grades, headlined by classic lines like Tilly Wall. The approach takes ten minutes down paved paths from the Durlston Country Park visitor car park. Tidal cut-offs and historical quarry instability mean careful access assessment is required.
