Hi. Looking for some out door climbing suitable for a 4 year old.
Plenty of big holds closely spaced and not to high.

Any ideas?

for a four year old, boulders are not a bad idea. The most easy angled and juggy 'proper' climbing near to W. Yorks, where your profile says you are from, is probably Windgather. The ends of Burbage north are quite good too.

Stating the area of the UK might be useful though.

There are quite a few threads on this site that discuss possible venues in detail. The places listed below are good.

Yorkshire
parts of Shipley Glen (especially at the right-hand end)
Scot Crags, Scugdale
Slipstones (lower tier at right-hand end)
Crag Willas boulders (if you can handle to walk in)
High Crag Stump Cross
Caley (slabby side of large boulder by Crag)

Peak
Wharncliffe, Black Slab area
Stanage, Delightful area
Burbage South (large boulder below Goliath area and other boulders)
Baslow (Small Slab area)
Windgather (as mentioned)
Burbage North (large boulder below Ash Tree Slabs area)
Stanage (large boulder below and left of Hamper's Hang)

Despite the easy grades, Birchen is not so good due to undercut starts of many routes. An exception is the Gangplank at the far left.
