Summary
Trad and sport climbing in the centre of Bristol
Description
The Avon Gorge is located in the centre of Bristol, and is easily accessed by foot from town. Most of the climbing is on quarried rock, with large quantities of both sport and trad climbing to be found. Some un-quarried rock exists at the suspension bridge, with a very different feel to the rest of the crag.
