About Goblin Combe
Goblin Combe is a tranquil, wooded limestone valley venue located near Cleeve in North Somerset. The rock character features compact Carboniferous limestone forming broken craglets, technical slab faces, and clean vertical crack lines surrounded by woodland canopy. Facing south, the main upper sectors catch direct daylight and dry steadily in dry conditions, though lower shaded walls retain humidity and seepage after wet spells. The climbing provides a pleasant mix of traditional wall routes alongside short sport lines from Severe to upper E-grades, led by classic outings like Goblin Route. The approach involves a fifteen-minute walk along scenic woodland footpaths starting from the primary valley parking layby in Cleeve. High ambient humidity and dense summer foliage keep inner sectors damp, making dry spring and autumn days optimal.
