Sport climbing
Castle inn quarry has been developed for sport climbing which means all of the routes have been protected by drilled bolts which the climber clips his rope into as he climbs. Development is so rapid that in the new guidebook this is the last climb in the quarry but there is a whole new wall of climbs to the right behind the old pub which is now being renovated as a private house.
