Some good additions from Dave Musgrove & Co especially at Lords Seat. Dave says they are well worth the walk and at amenable grades.
A new problem added to this steady circuit by the Norvills.
Not deep-water soloing but you do get to climb beside the reservoir. This has to rank as a pretty unique experience for Yorkshire.

Paul Farish recalls climbing here in the 1970s or ’80s – John Syrett has also been linked to these crags. Mostly bouldering but a few brave routes thrown in.
A nice little boulder near the popular White Wells bathhouse and tearoom on Ilkley Moor. Ideal for family walks; you can even get an all-terrain buggy up there.

This venue was mentioned in the latest YMC guide; the full topo is now online.

There are numerous possible approaches and the crag combines well with a walk on the Moor. Above: “The Devil” – one of the carvings to be found on the rocks. There … More Lanshaw Rocks (Grub Stones)
