Barton Hill Cliff. © deepstar

Crag features

A small cliff overlooking the village of Barton. Mostly covered in thick Ivy.At the foot of a gully in the centre of the cliff is a small cave which 1500 years ago was a Wolf Den (the remains of the wolves and their prey can be seen in Wells Museum). As the cliff is North Facing and exposed to the weather it can be a good place for winter climbing practice.

 

Note: As of 01/03/24 the crag has been fenced off by the landowners from the bottom, and is completely overgrown with bracken and gorse (especially the gully)

Approach notes

Best reached from the Crook Peak/Wavering Down footpath.

still couldn't find den. Enough rock, although not too solid in places, to put up some routes. Esoteria rules here.
