Dalton Crags

Area Summary

The small but scenically set circuit of Dalton Crags boulders hosts around 10 to 12 blocks, offering roughly 20 problems on a compact limestone, reminiscent to that of Fairy Steps. The area is situated on the well wooded hillside above Burton in Kendal and just over a kilometre east of the hamlet of Dalton. The climbing is below tree cover and at an altitude of roughly 250m. As such the venue offers shade and often a cool breeze, to make for a more tolerable setting during the summer months.

The guide to the area is a combined with two other venues - Farleton Knott and Hutton Roof - with all three making up the 'Limestone Link' circuit.
