Widehope

Northumberland

A nice crag for beginners in terms of grade, but quite high and serious. As it is sandstone, best avoided when wet as holds may break.

Follow the forestry track left through a second gate and into the forest, about 500m later there will be a track turning left up to a small third gate, the crag should be visible. Cross the wall via a gate on the left.
