A number of limestone walls and blocks set in a fine positions with magnificent views of The Lakes, Lancs and the Yorkshire Peaks. Lots of very steady problems and a few tougher ones make this a fun area. Nothing of great height (apart from the main wall at Tow Scar) but sufficient to entertain. The rock is generally water washed limestone of excellent quality and varies in feel depending on the location. A wonderful place for a family day out too.

Parking and Approach
From the main A65 just west of Ingleton drive up through Thornton in Lonsdale heading for Dent. At the top of the hill, just as the road descends into Kingsdale, is parking for around 5 cars. This is next to a gate and Radio relay station. A track just through the gate zig-zags up the hill, eventually straightening out to reach a gate/gap in a wall. Tow scar is reached by branching slightly left to a vague col on the ridge then contouring around above the drystone wall following a vague path (15 mins). The Cheese Press can be seen on the straight part of the path as you approach the gate, set above limestone scars high on the right (15 mins). . The Warm Up and Low Plain Scars are obvious and passed on the way to the Cheese Press (10 mins).
