Voluntary closure
Climbing · 1 Mar to 31 Jul
Not in force on 30 October 2026
Restrictions apply from 1 March - 31 July.
Reason: Nesting Birds
The restriction may be lifted or modified later in the season following site visits by RSPB. The quarry is in three distinct bays, and the birds (two seperate protected species) tend to vary their exact nest sites each year. Outside of the restricted times climbers are asked to be aware that if their presence disturbs the birds (screeching sounds, and obviously agitated birds) then they should not linger beneath the nest area. Both of the left hand bays are normally restrcicted but the right hand bay, that contains the newer sports routes and the bouldering is not covered by this restriction.
Sectors:
- Left hand bays
