Welcome to our community.
The Castle was the result of a dream for us to have somewhere we could climb, meet friends and have a good time.
Over the last 30 years we have transformed the Castle from a dilapidated former Water Pumping Station into the Climbing Walls, Training facilities, Gym, Café, Shop and Garden you will find here today.
We are kicking off our events schedule for 2026 with a BritRock film screening on 31 January 2026, we look forward to seeing you there.
In February, we'll be starting our Boulder Ladder - a chance to track your progress and win prizes across consecutive months. Stay tuned!
