Restricted Access
Ownership of the combe is divided between Avon Wildlife Trust (who own the eastern section) and the charitable trust Groundworks South (who own the western section where the majority of the crags are located). The Landowner does not allow climbing on the crags. If climbers do decide to visit and are asked to leave by Groundworks staff, they should do so politely and as quickly as is safely possible.
Be aware that there are frequently loose blocks at the top of the smaller buttresses - a cautious approach is advised. As with any crag, climbing here is an activity with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 15 February to 15 May
Reason: Nesting Birds
Ravens are nesting on Eagle Rock - the buttress should be avoided until the signs are removed.

βeta: the sticking out tree now appears to be mostly on the ground covering the belay legdes with some of the trunk resting on the route. Didn't investigate too closely, just decided to do another route... | βeta? | |

βeta: The tree below the main crack has now fallen and is resting on another tree - beware. It might be good if someone can cut it down as if it falls it may pull out the whole block where the root is... | βeta? | |
