Rock Climbing at How Stean Gorge
We can now offer rock climbing here at How Stean Gorge as part of our Via Ferrata & Climbing activity. After you have tackled the Via Ferrata we take you to our quarry where we have top roped climbs in place which scale the limestone walls. How Stean Gorge is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSi) because if it’s limestone formations but we think it’s special for a whole heap of reasons.
