Description

Dogs turned to stone by an angry witch, as the story goes, and home to the demonic hound from Sherlock Holmes. Alternatively, a lovely collection of granite outcrops well visited by climbers and holidaymakers alike.

This holds an excellent collection of bouldering and short trad routes. Suspension Flake is good fun, known to have seen more than a few nude solos, and Aerobic Wall gives an excellent powerful little run up a wall.

Getting There

Big parking at 50.598994, -3.782373 that often has a cafe truck. Two minute walk from the parking across the road uphill towards the granite outcrops.
