Northern England

Although lacking the extravagantly draped grandeur of the spectacular Edges of the Peak District, there are many fine crags and hidden classics here waiting for the diligent explorer. This guidebook will help climbers get the most from this extensive area. Northern England is the latest guide from the ever expanding guidebook empire that is Rockfax - this new book covers the whole of the north east of England running in a north-easterly diagonal line from Yorkshire through the North York Moors and ending in Northumberland. The guide has a wealth of climbing described between its covers and is produced to the high standards we've come to expect from Rockfax. All the crags described in the book are illustrated with high quality full colour photo diagrams and there is a good selection of action shots. All the popular Yorkshire Grit venues are included, Ilkley, Almscliffe, Brimham, Rylstone, Crookrise plus many more, there is a good selection of crags in the North York Moors and the county of Northumberland is well represented with the popular climbing destinations of Peel Crag, Back Bowden, Bowden, Kyloe in the Woods and many more - over 300 pages, 2000 routes in the usual A5 format.
