This place is an absolutely amazing climbing centre. It can be busy but it’s really big and there are a lot of options for all abilities from top roping to lead and bouldering.

Friendly staff, routes reset regularly, lots of roped, lead and bouldering. Good food too! Try the hummus & toast.

Vic McGinJanuary 13, 2016If you like climbing, this will be heaven. Definitely go to the little cafe, all grown on site or sustainably sourced. Three guys are doing things the right way.Upvote7Downvote
Susan MJanuary 4, 2015Great multi-discipline climbing centre. Varied and interesting routes throughout the centre. If you want to climb their tallest walls you'll need lead experience and your own rope.Upvote2Downvote
Make sure to try the awesome café; the food is amazing and the teas are grown there in the castle! Also the brownie bites are a good energy boost ;)Upvote1Downvote

Martin TiedemannMay 23, 201220 October: The Centre is housed in an old Victorian water pumping station and is officially the most visited climbing centre in the country. It even sometimes has an in-house DJ to climb to.UpvoteDownvote
New green bouldering on bottom floor (not pit)... 3rd from the left is marked V0-1, but is closer to V3 for those of us who are short (5 feet)!

Cla ClaMay 30, 2019Fantastic climbing gym. It would be great if people used deodorants though...UpvoteDownvote
Good but not excellent bouldering, average top roping, average lead areas far too cramped (even dangerous). Great vegetarian cafe, coffee while watching the climbing, and garden vegetables for sale.UpvoteDownvote
Great climbing centre! Loads of boulder areas, which are reset regularly.Upvote1Downvote
