Craig y Longridge

Lancashire

Bring your biggest arms for a visit to this legendary Lancs bouldering forcing ground! Occupying an unusual position directly behind the gardens of a new housing development, this long, low crag is overhanging for most of its length, composed of fine quarried gritstone and beloved by regulars who appreciate its unique charms.

Spectacular wall to start and cut your teeth on. Tall enough and long enough on the edge of the Trough of Bowland for walks and easy access to Longridge for shops etc.
