Gorse in bloom
Bright-yellow Gorse blooms fill the air with a sweet, coconut scent (not that you can experience that here). In the distance, woodland covers the valley side with a mixture of species coming into blossom or leaf progressively. Spring at its best!

Valley bottom
A large, dead oak tree dominates the hedge alongside the small stream. Further on, a pool has been dug in the damp, rushy ground of the valley floor. Pasture occupies all of the land on both sides of the valley.

Carboniferous Limestone
Great thicknesses of limestone of Carboniferous age (~350 million years) remain in the coastal hills in this area. Quarries on the south-facing slopes are no longer active, but serious extraction continues on the coast. The limestone is the result of accumulation of carbonate-rich muds from microscopic algae and shelly debris forming obvious fossils. Here the layers of the rock can be seen to dip steadily to the North.

Castle Inn Quarry
A small section of the left hand side of the main climbing wall at the quarry. The Castle inn is now being redeveloped as a private house and the old car park provides a base for climbers to watch others and wait their turn on the numerous sport climbs.

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.
