West of England Quarry, below Summer Hill A disused quarry on the west side of the hills. There's little, if any, climbing potential that I could see, and it's not listed in the printed guidebook 'West Midlands Rock' (admittedly this is long since out of publication). The walls are heavily vegetated.

A lonely trig point It only looks lonely because I waited until the hordes were out of shot - there was no shortage of people up the hills on this decent mid October day.
