Buckstones

Buckstones Edge, also know as Nont Sarah’s, has a collection of around 140 local boulder problems in a superb moorland location with fantastic views. Most problems are on natural gritstone of good quality.

The problems can be split into two distinct sections.

The “Above the Road” problems, which are uphill of the A640, starting from where a large boulder almost touches the road, around 300m right of the Buckstones Hotel and consist of sectors A to D.

The “Below the Road” problems are in the area directly downhill of the main car park which is popular in summer with a variety of different people. This area has the higher concentration of harder boulder problems but also has a good range of easier problems with nice flat grassy landings. These are in sectors E to G.

Access

There is a good sized car park just off the A640 where it’s joined by the B6114. The “Below the Road” problems are literally just off the downhill edge of the car park. The “Above the Road” problems involve a short walk along the A640 towards the Buckstones Hotel.
