How do I get there?

Carkpark location

Carkpark location

After parking in the car park next to the four storey german observation tower, take the path past the tower out to the small quarry area. Skirt round to the right of this and down towards the zawn (care should be taken, as a slip would result in a long fall into the zawn). An abseil can then be taken from the left hand side of the zawn as you look out, or heading round to the right of the zawn leads to a sloping scramble to the entrance.

 

 

Below are links to topos of the climbs at Gull Stack (This is reached in the same way as Gull Zawn but requires a low tide to hop across the gully: (One topo is in progress)
