An angular quarry where sandstone was mined to make the local convent. It comprises of a near U-shaped cliff of soft sandstone about 10m high, with various potential routes all over. "It is by no means a desirable place to climb, but a definite maybe for some". The small caves (which go back about 4 metres) offer interesting overhangs.

Parking and Approach
Off the A 51 drive toward Great Haywood. Approx, 50 metres from the Clifford Arms pub is a sports and social club and village hall. Opposite is a small dust track next to a school where cars can be parked. Follow the dust track up to the old stone bridge. Before going under the bridge turn left through the forest and you'll come to a stile. Enter the field and follow the path until you see the forest (this offers good views of the Shugborough grounds) and then in the corner of the forest you'll see a stile. Over that and you're there.It's unclear if climbing is permitted, or even a good idea here.
