About Ebbor Gorge

Ebbor Gorge is a secluded National Nature Reserve gorge offering quiet limestone climbing near Wookey Hole in the Mendip Hills. The rock character features Carboniferous limestone crags tucked within steep, forested gorge slopes, providing technical face crimps, narrow crack lines, and moss-rimmed ledges. Facing various directions across its inner valley walls, aspect varies, with heavy tree canopy keeping the crags shaded and slow to dry after wet weather. The climbing consists of traditional routes and select sport lines from Severe to upper E-grades, led by Ebbor Wall. The approach takes fifteen minutes along beautiful nature reserve paths from the main Ebbor Gorge visitor car park. Climbers must respect nature reserve regulations, stick to established access trails, and mind loose rock.
