Crag Lough

Northumberland

Impressively situated Whin Sill crag which is the largest and most extensive in the County. Steep with good lines, although north-facing and best avoided if damp.

Crag information
Climbing Area: North East Rock Type: Volcanic
Importance: Local CRoW Land: No
Ownership: National Trust No. of Routes: 41
Within National Park: Yes Year Developed: 1907
Grid Reference: NY762679

The crag is not mapped as open country under CRoW, something that may surprise anyone who has climbed there. It is, however, in the ownership of the National Trust and access made available by the trust. BMC is taking up the CRoW mapping issue with Natural England. Please be aware peregrine have nested at the crag. If you observe them during the Spring months, please do not disturb them during this sensitive period - give the nest site a wide berth.
