This crag is home to the only Common Raven nest site on Dartmoor. The nests, which are usually large and clearly visible, are protected by The Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981), and to avoid reckless damage to the nest, birds or their eggs during the sensitive breeding period, the BMC advises climbers to avoid routes which pass through, or near, the nests mid-February to mid-May.

Area information

Part of the Dartmoor National Park is used by the MoD for training and live-firing exercises. It also offers a wealth of excellent hillwalking and numerous Tors, some of which still have the potential for new climbing development – especially wild bouldering. The Defence Estates endeavour to support public access (without compromising public safety and military training) and have produced a website with the important safety info and firing times. Follow this link http://www.dartmoor-ranges.co.uk/ for the Dartmoor training area homepage and links to detailed info.
