The crags enjoy a fine aspect and North Buttress can provide a few hours of quality climbing. The routes are not long but there are a few excellent lines across the grades. In dry weather ledges and holds can become dusty and heathery topouts are an additional challenge.
Due to ground nesting birds the land owners have been granted a 5 year dog ban.
There are few reliable anchors and any stakes should be treat with caution.
Bracken can be an issue in summer including obscuring a number of holes and drops around the crags.

Left of Motley Crew, start below an overhanging block at a broken wall. Climb the wall and pass the overhang on the right. Given severe but probably undergraded. The small tree at the crux is now rotting so if it is avoided, the route is probably around HS 4c.
