After suffering with an injury for a few years I am finally getting back into climbing. I have had a few successful trips to the wall I want to go outside. Does anyone know any easy ( grade 3/4) sport climbing around Plymouth for me to have a bash on before I get back into trad.

Maybe at Mt. Batten? No easy sport around Plymouth that I know of. Torbryan and Cheesewring are probably a bit to hard? Might be worth a trip to Portland/Cheddar.

You've mentioned trad... Why not set up some top ropes or ab in and pre-place gear? Sheeps tor is easy enough to set up ropes on and also easy on the gear. You could top rope and practice placing gear on the climb to get you back into it.

Good advice from StevoeoS.

Anstey's Cove has a slabby 5 (pitch 1 of Sunshine http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=193139) and a 5+ (BlueSky http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=232283)

Next nearest is probably here http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=276

Just join up with some locals and second them up trad routes for a while?

You could always go and top rope stuff up at Sheepstor, bit chilly at the moment.

No easy sport in Cornwall to speak of.

I would recommend heading down to Sennen where there's a wide variety of excellent low grade single pitch routes which could be top-roped. If you don't mind polished rock Chudleigh has some short top-ropeable routes as well.
