bolted route

There is a bolted route down the cliff which brings you to the entrance of the sea cave shown(with messy adit in back) which will give you alot longer with the tides.Bolts put in 8 months ago... The slot in the side wall of the sea cave does not go.

Access

It's also possible to walk to the adit from Cligga at low tide but only for a short while. Be very careful if taking this route, the time limits are very tight. Probably best to do it as a 12 hour trip!

Underground

You can get into interesting workings here, but years since I did this. From Cligga walk west towards St Agnes, look for treacherous cliff path down by Pen a Grader, a sort of little island. Handline recommended. There is an abseil into a shaft with a few workings part way down. Go right the way down grassy slope to final abseil (should be some bolts) to sea shore. Walk back towards Cligga to reach the adit. WATCH THE TIDE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
