Parking and Approach

On the Dallow Moor road just north of Dallow Gill.  Just after the Greygarth/Swetton Y junction is the Tom Corner information point. Park here.  A short distance up the road is a footpath signpost on the left.  Follow the old abandoned green lane downhill (second mosaic) to pass behind Potter Lane House and to the track across the river.  Follow it left and back right (footpath line on OS map goes over a wall with no stile).  Gates though the fields on the left lead to the left of old ruined barns and onto the moor by the second, bigger, one.  Head uphill following a faint path to a metal gate through a dry-stone wall.  The crag is around to the left past a bend in the wall though perhaps best reached around in front of the bracken area. 20 mins from the car.  An alternative is to combine a visit with Gate House Crag from where the moor can be crossed north-westward to Lund Stones.

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.
