The original sport climbs fell down in 2019. A new selection of boulders now resides on the beach, along with several sport climbs still available in the forest.
🤓 Moderator Note [Alex] ~ July-2025: The sea/bouldering area of this crag seems to be getting quite a lot more traction lately. The area in general is quite a mess of (as yet) unnamed boulders. When claiming FA's/writing descriptions please be as thorough as possible—if in doubt a photo/video is typically the easiest way to encourage repeats. If anyone feels up to the task of creating a small map outling the boulders/area, then I'm sure the community would be grateful!
Getting to Oxwich Bay Quarry:
🚗 Parking: Oxwich Bay Car Park - Parking is likely the limiting factor for many people (£6 car / £15 van). proving quite expensive for frequent visits.
🚶 Approach: From the car park, if the tide is out the woods can be reached via the Western side of the beach.
If the tide is in, for the Oxwich sport crag, follow the costal path past the church, up the steps, along the flat path for around 1km then drop down another set of steps which comes down to overlook the quarry. Along the side of the quarry there is a wooden fence hiding the edge. To get down to the quarry, at the left hand side of the fence there is a steep path down.
Alternatively you can walk around to the end of the path which comes out on the beach (at low tide) and you can cut back up though the trees to the crag.
Jan 2019 - The main cliff has now been completely destroyed by landslip, no routes remain intact along Sea Walls.
The routes in the woods remain unaffected.
There are no access difficulties provided climbers do not exit the cliff tops, avoid excessive vegetation damage and do not encourage the general public into the quarry area.
