Facts and practical information

Almscliffe Crag, or Almscliff Crag, also known as Great Almscliff Crag to distinguish from Little Almscliff, 3 miles north west, is a Millstone Grit outcrop at the top of a small hill near the village of North Rigton, between Leeds and Harrogate in North Yorkshire, England. The crag lies on the boundary of the civil parishes of North Rigton and Stainburn. The crag was formed due to the softer adjacent strata of shale and mudstone eroding at a faster rate than the hard wearing millstone. ()
