South Stack coastline closed to protect wildlife

A 1.8-mile stretch of coastline near South Stack, Anglesey, is now closed to visitors for six months, from March 15 to September 15, 2025. This exclusion zone aims to protect wildlife after damage from unauthorized adventure activities. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds requested the ban due to increasing harm to rare bird species and the environment. Public access remains unchanged along designated paths, but activities like coasteering are prohibited without permission. The closure is intended to safeguard breeding birds and fragile habitats. Authorities will monitor the situation and review the exclusion zone after six months.
