The site: Abseiling at The Rock is either a 26 or a 30 metre abseil depending on the route you take. There are some angled sections and small overhangs to negotiate. The  walk from the carpark to the base of the pitch takes about 20 minutes and is graded medium. There is also a 10 minute walk and scrambel up and over rocks from he bottom to the top of the pitch.

The views of the surrounding farmland from the top are spectacular and the colour of the rock is something to see in the late afternoon sunlight.
