I can’t recommend this place enough. We’re camping nearby and it was a great rainy day activity. The instructor, Oliver, was absolutely brilliant with the kids, they came away buzzing

Absolutely amazing place ! Came for a belaying induction course, felt to be at ease and things were explained really well. Really friendly staff that are very experienced and passionate about the sport. It felt a more personal experience compared to a bigger corporate climbing centre (support smaller independent businesses!) 10/10 would recommend to anyone will definitely come back. Definitely amazing value for money too !!

Amazing climbing centre, brilliant instructors, really friendly and professional. Great for climbing groups, one off sessions with instructors, bouldering, leap of faith and occasional planned outdoor gorge walking/climbing and abseiling. Routes are always being changed and plenty of kit to hire. Can't recommend enough!

Came here last week with our grandchildren and they had the best time ever. The staff were extremely helpful and caring with the caving and then climbing being a massive hit. Emma Jane was a big hit with the grandkids being especially caring and helpful, explaining every aspect of the climbing. They’ll be back to us later in the year and they would like to do the canoeing along with more climbing. Can’t wait to come back
