Access notes
Take the A3022 twds Brixham past a white weatherboard house on the R. Take the first L turn (signposted Fishcombe Cove). 0.5mi further, after a one-way section, is a car park on the L.

Take the footpath past holiday chalets to a woody hillside, and follow it RW through the trees to the shingle beach - Fishcombe Cove. The crags (sea cliff and three quarries) lie on the far side of its grassy shoulder.

The sea cliffs are reached directly from the shoulder via a faint path.

The first quarry is reached by following the main path up to where it meets the fence at the edge of a golf course then following the fence for 100yds until a small path leads down to a scramble into the quarry.

While it is possible to follow a path / scramble between the quarries the fastest way to the far quarry (slipshod / supercalorific etc) is to continue along the path by the golf course for a fair way until a RH bending tree on the RH side (marked with a cross at time of writing) marks a good path down which leads to the far shoulder of the quarry.

Please do not access the first quarry (Bloodhound) as there are nesting birds which are easily disturbed March - August. Thanks

Is there any access problems here or is climbing allowed here all year round? Thanks, Ellis (:
