Restricted Access
The north side of the Gorge is predominantly owned by the National Trust and mapped as Open Access land under the CRoW Act which give a right of access for climbers to use these crags all year. The Cheddar Gorge Access Map gives full details of climbing access throughout the Gorge.
The map references the latest guide to the Gorge - 'Cheddar Gorge Climbs' (M. Crocker, 2015), which has details of the popular crags on the north side and definitive details of restored routes on the south side. It is available from The Gorge Outdoors shop in Cheddar village, as well as other climbing and outdoor shops in the area.
Seasonal Restrictions
Reason: Nesting Birds
Dogs should be kept under control on a lead at any crags on the north side of the Gorge.
The National Trust require any new bolting to be cleared with them first - please contact the BMC Access Team if you are considering any bolting work and so we can help in any approach to the Trust.

βeta: Please be aware, the bolts appear to be subject to quite severe galvanic corrosion and should not be trusted. There is now a very long run out to get to the bolts and whilst the climbing is not so hard, falling off could lead to a nasty injury. Have raised with the access rep. | βeta? | |

βeta: Please be aware the chains are broken on this route! One bolt is snapped at the rock face and the other is questionable. If you do want to climb continue out the top to the anchor on the 6b next to the route to lower off. | βeta? | |
