Part of Tintern Quarry
Tintern Quarry was a quarry in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England. It was served by the Wye Valley Railway from 1876 until it closed in 1981.[1] The quarry was on the opposite side of the River Wye from the village of Tintern.
It is now used, unofficially, as a rock-climbing venue with many climbs on the more solid rock on its many terraces.[2] A Climbers Club Guide, Lower Wye Valley, describes the climbing at the quarry.[2][3]
