A very popular area with a fine set of climbs including the classics of Hollybush Crack at VDiff and Queersville at HVS, plus a selection of routes of only a slightly lesser stature. As might be expected, with good routes and the closeness to the car park, the area is always busy. Guidebook page 175.
