About Goyt's Clough
Goyt's Clough is a small, quiet gritstone crag situated in a scenic valley within the Goyt Valley nature reserve. The rock is dark gritstone set amidst heather slopes and stream banks. Facing northwest, the crag receives very little direct sun, resulting in high seepage levels and damp conditions for large parts of the year. The climbing offers a handful of short trad routes and boulder problems in the lower to intermediate grade range. Access involves a pleasant ten-minute walk along river footpaths from the Goyt Valley car park. Persistent dampness and limited sun exposure mean that a long spell of dry weather is required before visiting.
