Climbing
Climbing is banned on the Estate because of the damage caused to the friable chalk cliffs, the disturbance caused to wildlife and because of the large number of visitors who come to the Estate each year - professional and semi-professional climbers do not mix well with visitors, tending to encourage those with no experience or equipment to climb what are, potentially, dangerous and unstable cliff formations.
The Estate is very pleased that this policy has resulted in a significant downturn in the number of climbing related accidents and hopes that the climbing clubs will continue to support this ban.
