Where is the best place to go climbing outside?
Although Britain doesn’t have cliffs as high as in countries, it is renowned for the incredible variety of rock types available on such a small island. The Peak District, Lake District, Yorkshire and North Wales have loads of climbing to suit all levels. Sea cliff climbing around the coast of England and Wales is also popular, for instance around Pembroke and Swanage. Disused quarries can also make good climbing sites. The BMC has an online regional access database which gives up to date access information to over 300 crags around England and Wales. Find out more about climbing outside here.
