User attention
We are temporarily changing the advice in the code of practice regarding climbing in wet or damp conditions for this winter. Only climb on properly dry rock – this will usually take multiple days of dry weather in a row before a visit, and even then nothing is guaranteed. If you are unsure, leave climbing for another day. It might be frustrating to travel only to find the crag isn’t in condition, but we all need to have the long term sustainability of the crags in mind. Once holds are snapped or damaged, they cannot be replaced. from 02/12/2020
A small wooded outcrop with a few routes. As with all Southern Sandstone, top-roping or bouldering/soloing is the only accepted syle of ascent. Make sure toprope anchors are extended so that no moving rope comes into contact with rock.

Parking and Approach
On private land. Small, quiet groups of climbers are unofficially tolerated - so don't go as a big group and don't make noise or leave any mess!The crag lies north of the road passing Bassett's Farm. Parking is as for Bassett's Farm - one car can go in the bend in the road, with space for a couple of others on verges near the dip in the road down the hill. The crag is reached by following a footpath north from a point 100m east of the the bend in the road. When a stile is reached, ignore this and stay inside the woods to its right until you can cross the stream and pick up a wide track, which leads to the crag.
