In 2002 peregrine nested near the top of the route Bowland Wall. Please take care not to disturb the birds if you find them in residence in future years. The quarry is owned by North West Water and it has high botanical interest. Climbers should take care to minimise damage to flora on the cliffs and surrounding areas.
CRoW Information
Open access land, designated under the Countryside & Rights of Way Act (2000) give area access rather than linear access as provided by public rights of way. It also gives a legal right of access specifically for climbing, as well as walking and other quiet recreation on foot.
Please bear in mind however that the landowner still has the right to restrict access for up to 28 days per year (often used on public safety grounds for shooting in moorland areas), and can also apply for longer term restrictions with Natural England (such as bans on dogs, or regular restrictions during particular times of year). It is important to check for these restrictions regularly as they can be added at short notice – all details for open access land in England can be found on Natural England’s website .
