Crag features

There is no real climbing in Warwickshire, and Burton Dassett isn't the solution. But if you're looking for somewhere to practice on real rock (or are a small child) without driving hundreds of miles, then there is an interesting hour or so to be had here.

It's Ironstone and used to be a quarry. It can be green and loose, and when wet it's lethal. And it never gets much over 2 meters tall. So spectacular it is not, but a hand full of interesting traverses, some short boulder problems from sit start, and a workable crimpy face accompanying a scrappy crack. top outs are onto grass so can be slippy and awkward, take some friends as the landings are ankle twisters or rib bruising if you don't place a mat with a little care.

Split into 2 areas, the 2-3m wall behind the toilet block, and a boulder area past the horseshoe picnic area to the east of the toilet and parking. 

Bring a picnic (and kite) to avoid disappointment, bring the kids too they'll love the sheep.
