Parking and Approach
The owners of the quarry, North Somerset Council have leased the quarry to Play Wild CIC, an outdoor education and play provider. The lease is for 25 years and confers all access rights to the leaseholder. For the moment they have said that they do not want climbers to use the rock face. They have been carrying out a lot of scaling and vegetation work on the cliffs to stabilise them. The area is intended to be an outdoor activity area primarily for local children and school groups. However they are keen that once everything is set up, climbers will be able to access the routes through a permission system. Details of which are to be worked out. At which point access for individual climbers will be partially restored. For further information on access call Neil on - 07415 666582
