Castle Naze

Castle Naze is one of the many Gritstone Edges in the Peak District.

Location & Transport
Up the hill from Chapel-en-le-frith. NatGrid Reference:

Drive to Dove Holes and then along the single track road, there is parking by the end of the path up to the crag.

Public Transport: Train to Chapel-en-le-frith and walk up the hill (20mins).

Climbing
91 Trad. routes, grades: Mod - E4. (See UKC.)

A crag well loved by UMHC members, with stunning views. It catches the evening sunshine, which combined with its close proximity to the railway station, make it good for mid-week climbing outings.

As well as plenty of harder routes, the Castle Naze offers lots of good quality, easy climbing. Although, newcomers to the crag should beware of the loose boulders on top of the crag when setting up belays.
