An impressive crag from an old quarry, the cliffs are easily visible from the main road as you drive towards Oswestry. Please read the restrictions carefully below, this area has complex access issues and failure to follow the restrictions could cause further access restrictions. The site is managed by Shropshire and Montgomery Wildlife Trusts and managed as a nature reserve. Please pay attention to the following: - Climbing is not allowed in the Northern Quarry or on Asterley Rocks.
Organised groups wishing to use 'Cul de Sac' quarry - please contact the Red Ridge Centre first to avoid overcrowding. Tel The development of additional new routes may jeopardise the existing access arrangements - please contact the BMC for futher details.
There is an agreement between Shropshire Wildlife Trust, Montgomery Wildlife Trust and the British Mountaineering Council to allow individual recreational climbers and club members to rock climb on the rocks at Llanymynech. Nothing in the agreement is legally binding; however failure by climbers to follow these guidelines could lead to a permanent restriction on climbing at the whole site. The Wildlife Trusts welcomes visitors onto the nature reserve to explore and enjoy at close hand the spectacle of the cliffs and the wildlife this area supports.
Restrictions apply from 1 March - 30 June. Keep an eye open for signs detailing the nesting restriction in the Red Wall area. Currently all routes on Foreigner Wall are permanently restricted. There are multiple locations to park the best is on Underhill Lane in the nature reserve car park, and to walk through the gate and then follow the paths up to the bottom of Grid Iron wall.
Group abseiling and climbing in Cul de Sac quarry is accepted, but please behave sensibly and do nothing to undermine the existing access situation. Remove all litter and leave the place cleaner than you found it.
