Some of the best rocks, crags and sandstone faces in the UK can be found in Glendale, the area around Wooler. One of the most challenging climbs in the area, the Bowden Doors, is steep and technically difficult so ensure that, if this is your choice of climb, a professional is present. Kyloe in the Wood, a crag hidden away in a large silent forest, provides some of the toughest climbs in the UK.
