Beacon Hill Quarry

Avon and Somerset

Disused quarry located on the Somerset - Devon border. Until summer 2007 there has been no evidence that any of the lines have been climbed (please update if you have any previous info). As a result the rock is very loose in places & climbing is limited without a good cleanup.That said, there are a few obvious boulder problems that can be done without any gardening. The quarry features 2 faces 15-20m high, which would feature some well protected mid grade routes as well as some sparsely protected harder routes - however top outs are likely to be dirty & there is potential for loose blocks, a good garden is required before rope climbing is safe.If you are local it's worth a visit - (but bring a brush!) as there are no other crags in ~ 20miles.The quarry has a number of faces, some of which are within a police firing range.

This is a pretty poor crag needs lots of gardening and is difficult to get to the face due to trees and rock fall
