Cow's Mouth Quarry

Lancashire

The quarry has lots of bouldering potential in the surounding area. Don't expect lots of gear placements on the routes that are in this quarry, a small slection of the routes are done by soloing so don't forget the crash mat.

In April 2021, bolts appeared in the quarry and have since been removed. Bolts are NOT welcome and should only ever placed in line with local agreements:

  • To replace existing bolts when there is no alternative
  • Where specifically agreed after discussion at an area meeting
  • Where required in order to secure access.

March 2022, bolts were again placed at the top of the quarry. These looked poorly placed and possibly outright dangerous. Again removed by local activists.

Parking and Approach

No access restrictions are in place, the quarry is a good 20 minute walk for the White House pub car park on mostly level ground.
