Tidal access
Base of lower quarry platforms can be wet at spring high tides — non-tidal access for upper walls
Uphill Quarry is a historic limestone quarry venue located beneath the hilltop church of Uphill near Weston-super-Mare. The rock character consists of pale Carboniferous limestone featuring vertical quarried walls, sharp crimps, pocketed slab faces, and flat grassy bases. Facing west toward the Bristol Channel, the crag catches afternoon sun and dries rapidly under coastal winds. The route distribution is predominantly sport climbing with scattered traditional lines, ranging from 5c to 7a, with Uphill Wall being a key highlight. The approach takes five minutes along flat coastal paths from the main Uphill beach car park. While upper walls are completely non-tidal, spring high tides can flood the low-lying saltmarsh paths near the entrance.
