In reply to John Bradley: Fairy Cave Quarry provides the best slab climbing in the area IMO. A few routes have areas of flakey rock but most of the starred routes are on excellent rock - for a quarry. The quarry is quickly returning to a natural state with many trees and plants colonising the quarry floor (the Ox-Eye Daisies are glorious at the moment) and no cars, fridges or other dumping within the quarry.
FCQ is very popular as an evening and weekend venue often with several teams climbing. The majority of climbers are local (Bath, Bristol, Yeovil) but I have received requests for the combination from London, Oxford, the West Midlands and even further afield when people are passing on route to Cornwall etc.
