Summary
Limestone
Just under the main outcrop, multiple boulders can be found.
Description
As the name suggests, the place is better suited for bouldering, the outcrop here is no higher than 4 meters and the holds are less polished than what you will find at the higher tier. There are not many named problems that I could find, but all of these have solid landings and the bottom of the boulders are pretty clean, thanks to the sheep which acts as a friendly four-legged lawnmower in the area. Ideal for families as some of the boulders are pretty low and have more holds than you can shake your stick at, so the little climbers will have no issues topping out.
Access issues
No issues, but beware not to wander over to the adjacent clay shooting establishment.
Approach
5-10 min
Turn right after passing through the gate, before you reach the higher tier. All of the boulders are located at the right-hand side of the gate.
Ethic inherited from Harborough Rocks
No bolting, or chipping.
