Access Issue: Avoid upsetting local residents! Details

Some of the climbs finish beside or even inside local residents' gardens, so take care to follow the recommended ways off - consult the Climbers' Club guide for details.

Description

The largest crag in the area. Quarried or natural limestone, routes up to 300 feet long. Mainly west facing. Great views over the Wye (a tidal section of the river) - not to be confused with the River Wye in Derbyshire!.

Getting There

From Chepstow take the B4228 to the village of Wintour's Leap. Park at the top and walk down - on first visit it's best to take the long way round (Lancaut Walk) to get a good view of the cliff.
