Bowles Rocks : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bowles Rocks thumb Bowles Rocks is a sandstone crag〔(BMC )〕 in the county of East Sussex, on the border with Kent, approximately south of the town of Tunbridge Wells. It is popular with rock climbers due to the excellent, south facing, quick drying rock, the range of climbs and the ease of access. It is one of the cluster of local outcrops known as Southern Sandstone.〔(Southern Sandstone )〕 == History == Bowles Rocks was cleared in the early 1960s by the visionary John Walters who was inspired to set up a 'rock climbing gymnasium'. Previously the site had been used as a firing range during the Second World War and to house pigs – hence the climb named Pig's Nose and area called Range Wall. The bullet holes in the rock and larger square holes lower down, which once supported the wooden beams of the pig sties, can still be clearly seen.
