High Rocks Continuation Wall.

Back to Sandstone home.

This outcrop is just what it says - the continuation of High Rocks, except outside the fence and owned by the Woodland Trust. The entrance is by the south side of the railway bridge 200m NNE from the High Rocks entrance. Follow the path east for a couple of hundred yards and the rocks are on your right. The outcrop is fairly scattered in places and continues for some distance. The Continuation Wall is quite overgrown in places but that just adds to the ambience. I climbed there many years ago when the outcrop was more often in reasonable condition. After a dry spell, it's worth having a look as there are some hidden gems.
