Access issues
This is a SSSI so please keep chalk use to a minimum, don't disturb wildlife etc
Approach
Bickley woods west is most easily accessed from the car park on Castle Farm Road. Take the road on the left side of the car park downhill and then once you see some sandstone walls on the left take the next path up the hill and drop down into a larger quarry below. The boulders on the eastern side are scattered around - check the "Esoteric bouldering in the Bristol region" guidebook for more info and coordinates.
History
Some of the earlier development took place in 2012 with the majority of problems then developed during lockdown in 2020/21
