About Round Hill Boulders
Round Hill Boulders is a scattered group of gritstone blocks located on high moorland near Blubberhouses. The rock is rough, high-friction gritstone featuring technical slabs, steep roofs, and sharp crimp holds. Angled toward all aspects across open heather, exposure to wind ensures rapid drying after wet weather. The site is dedicated to bouldering, offering problems from V0 to V8 across quiet moorland terrain. Classic lines like Round Hill Roof test core power and finger strength. Reach the boulders via a 15-minute walk across moorland tracks from roadside laybys. Respecting ground-nesting bird populations during spring is a vital access rule.
