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.

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