The four main sections, North, Central, South and Far South have a continuous under cliff path lining them all. But it is better to access each section from either end. After the 2014 landslide destroyed the southern approach, Far South and south are best accessed from the wall quarry a top South section. Sections of the Path can be quick tricky, especially in the wet and the paths to the beach blocks tend to move around over time. Take a moment to look where you are heading to before heading straight to your chosen climbing area.

Parking and Approach
All the Blacknor cliffs are approached from the signposted 'Climbers & Walkers Car Park' at the far south west corner of the housing estate in Weston. This is pay and display and parking wardens regularly patrol this car park so don't be tempted not to pay!
Don’t park elsewhere on the housing estate - if the car park is full, park on the main street in Weston and walk down the path next to the Royal Exchange pub.
