Looking at getting away with some other friends and our toddlers, and think we'll head to the Wye Valley.
The only real bouldering area of note seems to be Huntshams, which seems to have questionable access?
Is there anywhere with an easy walk-in, flat area for non-climbing and babies to chill, and problems from super-easy to not-particularly-hard (6b)? Likely only a day's worth as it's not a climbing trip...

Huntsham wouldn't be great from what I saw of it. Not at that grade anyway. It's a bit tricky getting around and the flat bit with a nice aspect is bivi buttress, which starts at 6B+ and would be a mission to get up to avec toddlers.

To be honest I don't think anywhere in the Wye really meets your needs. If you want to do something, you'd be better just trying give everyone else the slip for a couple of hours.
