Anston Stones - Limestone

Description: Popular limestone bouldering on a scattering of buttress throughout the woods.

Access: Access is fragile, but tolerated. Please behave responsibly and help keep access possible. To get to the main area (dark arts roof etc), park in an obvious large lay-by on the north side of the A57, about 1km east on Anston. Follow the obvious footpath from the east end of the lay-by into the woods. Follow the path down a hill, bearing left along the river at the bottom. This path leads you under a railway arch. A few hundred meters further on, a right turning leads back under the railway via a smaller arch - dark arts roof is on the right of this path shortly after the railway.
