  Leicestershire Bouldering
Mountsorrel Quarry
Also known as Castle Hill Quarry and Main Quarry

The last remaining unburied tips of Mountsorrel Quarry give some bouldering.

Parking: Park just outside the Bond Lane gates to the qaurry, but not blocking them. GPS Coordinates.
Approach: Walk counter-clockwise around the quarry and the rocks will quickly become visible on your right. See the map below.


The quarry will not be completely in filled because rock exposure has to be left for the geologists.  Who knows, it may be the climbable bit.
