Northern Limestone (Inland)
An easily accessed venue featuring natural limestone. The complex offers good quality, well bolted and enjoyable climbing with a decent mix of grades but would mainly suit those operating in the F6's. The routes start from a flat base and have full lower-offs. The crag was developed in 2007 /08 by locals Mike Doyle and Norman Clacher.
Many of the routes here are steeper and better quality than they initially appear.
Although the owners are unknown, the land has recently been up for sale and the BMC is monitoring the situation. The crack is in a residential area and efforts should be made to keep noise to a minimum.
Litter and broken glass can be a problem - please remove any that you see.
Although not subject to any restrictions - jackdaws nest on some routes, notably Flowstone Shuffle Wall (sometimes on the route Aphelion) and can be quite aggressive! Please avoid any routes where they appear to nest until the end of June/mid July.
Parking and Approach

Turn right under the expressway and then left at the roundabout towards Llanddulas /Abergele (A547).Stay on this main road and just before the top of the hill turn into the layby on the left to park by an apartment complex. Approach the crag down the steps.
The parking area/layby above the crag now has limited parking to maximum 4 hours and no return within an hour.
This area includes Craig y Forwyn, Llanddulas escarpment, Castle Inn, Penmaenhead as well as many other sports crags along the A55 corridor. Many of the crags, including Craig y Forwyn, Llanddulas escarpment and Castle Inn all lie within land designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, and vegetation removal, modification of rock faces, removal of rocks, etc. should be avoided.
