Restricted Access
The north side of the Gorge is predominantly owned by the National Trust and mapped as Open Access land under the CRoW Act which give a right of access for climbers to use these crags all year. The Cheddar Gorge Access Map gives full details of climbing access throughout the Gorge.
The map references the latest guide to the Gorge - 'Cheddar Gorge Climbs' (M. Crocker, 2015), which has details of the popular crags on the north side and definitive details of restored routes on the south side. It is available from The Gorge Outdoors shop in Cheddar village, as well as other climbing and outdoor shops in the area.
Seasonal Restrictions
Reason: Nesting Birds
Dogs should be kept under control on a lead at any crags on the north side of the Gorge.
The National Trust require any new bolting to be cleared with them first - please contact the BMC Access Team if you are considering any bolting work and so we can help in any approach to the Trust.

βeta: There’s a loose flake/block quite low down (between bolts 1&2 I think) that is mainly a foot placement (I think). Not sure if it’s chocked in but it did look very wobbly. | βeta? | |

βeta: For the crux, I went from the jug rest into a nearby LH sidepull. This allowed me to reach RH into the big undercut. From here I could walk my feet over to the right (bridged against the polished block) and do a drop knee to reach my left hand over to the decent hold under 4th clip. | ||
