Park at the end of the quarry road in an obvious parking area, just before the sharp left-hand bend and the main farm.

Walk past the farm (no noise please) and up the lane. Midway between the sharp bend and the cottages, branch left (BMC Sign in place) up a grassy ridge to the right of the fence - follow this to the old slate quarry, traverse right to a small gate and enter the quarry.

No dogs, fires or camping allowed.

Please note - As of this week, climbing at Foredale is no longer permitted. Unfortunately a few selfish people have spoilt it for the rest of us The landowner was fed up due to several reasons People taking dogs to the crag despite several notices requesting no dogs Litter being dropped around the area of the crag Damage to walls especially in the last couple of weeks

Please ensure that everybody sticks to the BMC Access notes for this quarry to avoid further conflicts with the farmer - no dogs, fires or camping.
