Approach & access

Park on the upper section of the old Mam Tor road, near the parking for Blue John Cavern. From here walk towards Blue John Cavern and go through the gate on the left just before you get to the building. Follow the grassy track to another gate, then rather than following the best path downhill take a bit of a sheep track contouring round the hill, follow this for a couple of minutes before the crag reveals itself.
