Luxulyan Quarry is a secluded, disused granite quarry hidden within the wooded Luxulyan Valley near St Austell. The rock character consists of smooth, quarried granite slabs, vertical crack systems, and squared edges surrounded by sheltered woodland. Facing south, the upper quarry walls receive good sunlight, but the surrounding dense canopy keeps lower sections shaded and slow to dry after rainfall. Grade coverage ranges from friendly Severe trad climbs up to technical lower E-grades, with Luxulyan Wall serving as a local benchmark. The approach takes ten minutes along flat, wooded footpaths from the dedicated valley parking area. High ambient humidity and midge presence on windless summer days are the main considerations.
