I suspect Brean might be better for higher grades just because it was always the destination of choice for a mate of mine who climbed harder than I did back then! But he loved it.
To be honest anywhere you go in this country, I think sub 6s are fairly likely to be polished or a bit rubbish... Could try somewhere like Wye valley? I've only been once to one of the quarries but it was pleasant
Yes, my experience of trad in cheddar is everything below 6a is pretty polished. Lovely setting makes up for it though.
I asked because got a friend who wants her first taste outdoors so chances are will end up at Hedbury in dorset as there’s tons at the lower end she can enjoy.
I’ve been meaning to go to Brean for a while though.
