Access withdrawn at Eagle Tor

Posted by Guy Keating on 02/03/2007

The landowners of this excellent Peak bouldering crag have unfortunately stated to the BMC they are currently not willing to allow access, and intend to install fencing around the rocks.

The owners are decent people with a young family and appreciate the quality of the crag. However, the bottom line is large numbers of visitors, damaged fencing, defecation near the house, toilet paper and noise have justifiably eroded their patience.

The boulders are located on private land - effectively Rockingstone Farm's back garden, and the owners are within their rights to eject you.

The BMC advise climbers to avoid Eagle Tor at the present time.

Ps. This crag is not the 'Eagle Tor' located where The Mires Rd. meets the B5056 road - opposite Carrs Wood at Grid Ref. SK 231 627.
