Pots and Pans Quarries are a good quality micro venue situated just below the obvious war memorial overlooking Chew Valley. The quarries are made on the whole of sound clean gritstone. The Front Quarry is easily seen from below and contains the majority of the routes, the Back Quarry contains the odd quality route worth seeking out. On the whole the quarries face south west'ish and receive a good deal of late afternoon and evening sun. There is some seepage after heavy rain.
Approach: from the King William cross roads in Greenfield, take Kinders Lane directly up the hill for half a mile to Fur Lane, take the left steep uphill branch until the road turns to the left and levels out. Limited parking is available here. Please park considerately and do not block any gates. Follow the footpath steeply up the hill straight towards the memorial. Trend leftwards as height is gained to reach the Front Quarry amongst the heap of scree and small boulders on the left. Back quarry is to be found just above and behind Front Quarry.
