Cliff's Barn closed to the general public ages ago. Probes may have a more accurate view on the subject... I can't imagine it reopening again  :shrug:

It was always a battle to keep it going, its less than ideal location, increase in competiton (new walls) etc etc, but it very unfortunately became a victim of the 'insurance claim with no blame culture', we'll pay out because it keeps us in business and the solictors in business, corrupt bastardos.
Home to a couple of the best cellar boards in the country, even if i built one myself  :-\  :lol:
A regular venue for some of the country's finest hustlers, damn shame it had to go.
Apparently one of my old work collegues took a stihl saw to it and literally chopped it to bits  >:(
The main room still exists but is used as an instructional wall for the outdoor centre that is based there.

That is very sad indeed.
