Notes
Excellent bouldering on large free standing boulder. A large number of easier top rope routes on slabs and vertical. Leading wall with an impressive overhang, slabs and vertial walls. New training room. Cafe.

To my knowledge, far and away the best facility in Cornwall or Devon. Excellent friendly atmosphere, beginners made very welcome with plenty of advice from Staff if needed. Plenty of courses for any age groups.

Also plenty of hard stuff for the experts and a great laugh with committed regulars.

USER FEEDBACK Login as Existing User to add your comments There's no decent indoor wall in west Cornwall, so we travel to the outskirts of Devon to visit The Barn (120 mile round trip), we love it - good size, bouldering and roped climbs, routes changed regularly, decent cup if coffee/tea and loos, well worth the trip on a wet day. Helen Turner - 23/Mar/11 The Boulder is truly great! We do a 160mile round trip most weeks to visit the Barn but its well worth it. Great routes with a good atmosphere too. A facility that really has something for everyone. benlawlor85 - 22/Sep/10 One of the best climbing walls ever. Quality instruction with a friendly approch means i will keep coming back. Han Woolley - 16/Apr/10 really nice friendly place to climb. I really love the boulder. Routes mostly look really steep, so only for the strong. Also the holds are very well used!! Great place ecowaller - 05/Sep/09 Legendary Heath Robinson-esque bouldering! otziiceman - 14/Aug/09 Much better than the mill. DAVE381 - 05/Oct/08 si's wall is definatly best in south west stevieo10 - 01/May/08 best wall in the south west. awesome quality bouldering and really good routes. eley1 - 28/Apr/08 The old Barn (at Bude) has closed and relocated to a new venue at Milton Abbot - see website for details. phil webber - 05/Oct/07 A great place to start a climbing career, popular with the local kids, and serious enough for those who know. (not me). Ray Newberry - 31/Dec/04
