The Facilities

The spacious and airy climbing facility, built in the former creamery is overlooked by a viewing gallery and complimented by changing rooms and showers, with snacks and climbing accessories available from reception.

Generous off-peak and junior discounts are offered but you don't have to join, so one-off visits don't cost the earth. Special multiple entry and season cards are also available - that means the more you come the less you pay.

If you're in the Lakes and the weather's not looking good, or you're bored of the usual attractions, don't have a miserable day, come and give us a try.
