Bulls Hollow.
Click on the photos below to enlarge.
Bulls Hollow near the
A264 by Tonbridge Wells Common. Very near to Toad rock. Parking is a
little difficult. The rock itself is down a hollow behind a large house.
Bulls Hollow suffers from a large amount of overhanging trees and takes a
long dry summer to dry out, hence it is not visited very often which is
a shame as it sports a couple of classic climbs. The increasing tree
cover is reducing the access time with large amounts of very green moss
appearing on most of the rock. Maybe another hurricane is called for to
trim a few trees. Anyway here are a few pictures taken in June 00 with
brief descriptions of a couple of route of which there are about 20 to
30 climbable on a good day (Don't
underestimate the time it takes for this rock to dry and the bog to stop
sucking in little children).
(Dec 2002 update)
Alas in recent years Bulls Hollow has fallen almost become unclimbable
due to moss and slime covering nearly all the climbs. A good long dry
summer and usage is desperately needed. The latest photos show the state
of affairs.

Nose 5b.

The much abused BMC Sandstone notice board.

Bramber Corner. A good 4a crack
climb.

Climber looking up at Square Cut 5c a
great little climb on to a shelf and then up an arete.

The Wall 5c. Probably the
best climb here, move up to a ledge then up following a thin but obvious
line.

Waistline 5a. Away from the main
area across the bog is a fine bulge marked by a large break.
Traverse in from the left to the nose and then up direct.



Denny
Bottom
Rocks Across the road from Bulls
Hollow is Denny Bottom Rocks and the
famous Toad Rock.... Located on Rusthall Common about 1 mile west of
Tunbridge Wells. Lots of boulders here but small and very short
lived.
