Ravenswick Quarry is a small, tucked-away sport climbing venue located near Millers Dale. The rock is smooth, quarried gray limestone featuring vertical crimpy faces, short overhangs, and clean lower-off points. Facing south, the quarry acts as a effective sun trap during spring and autumn, with open quarry walls drying very rapidly after rain showers. The venue provides a small selection of fun, accessible sport routes primarily graded between 5+ and 6c, making it ideal for quick half-day sessions. Classic routes like Ravenous offer rewarding face climbing. Access is simple, taking under ten minutes along woodland tracks from roadside laybys. Being a compact quarry, route choice is limited, but warm sunny conditions make it a pleasant venue.
