PREAMBLE
Easily accessed via the Ebbw Valley Walk, this is the big quarry you see when driving to Risca after leaving J28 M4.
South east facing it receives daylight until the mid afternoon. Could be a really good winter crag. Seepage is only a problem on the very lowest tier in the centre of the quarry. Above this it is dry throughout the year. Many birds of prey nest here so it would be unwise to develop or climb on this crag from the start of April to the end of July.
ACCESS

Turn off the A467 into 'South Blackvein Ind Est' and park by the FC gate on the right. Walk up the FC path until the 3rd track leading off to the left into the woods. It's just past the right turning signposted river walks.
