    Beautiful place with amazing views. Great for climbing and great for a long walk. There is a walking trail next to the rocks so you can have a long walk then a hard climb at the end. We parked in a little car park just a couple of minutes walk away and it was a free car park. Be careful as you go in as it can get very slippery on the mud. This is a great place for beginners for climbing and a great place for the whole family to have a day out. There is a little cave that you can explore but just be aware that there is a hanging rock that could fall.

    Beautiful views! Nice and quiet with an abundance of wild flowers! Hired a tramper for mum and walked with my dog for 10.5 miles along the trail! Fab day!

    Make the trip a couple times a year when the sun is out... Great for a picnic with the family with a view of about 60 miles around you. Great for walks and a cycle track is close by too. Small free car park available but road parking is possible if you hug the hedge.

    the footpath to the top of Harboro rocks is easy. the scenery is the spectacular unique rock formation. high peak trail passes at the foot of rocks. it is worthy to detour for a visit.

    Parking area on Manystones Lane, near the factory, off road parking for about 8 - 10 cars. Short walk back down the road to pick up the Prow up to Harboro Rocks Easy path, suitable for all abilities, mainly sheep on the area so good for dog walking Near the area is clay pigeon shooting but they do have flags up to warn you Excellent views from the top and a lovely trig point

    Went here on my Ethel Challenge. Foggy, couldn't see a thing, great Trig Point. If it wasn't for the noise from the nearby factory I wouldn't have found my way back. Photos look beautiful when it's clear.

    Great spot for some lower level bouldering and climbs. Easy access from the road and a fair amount of parking spaces. Never too busy on the rocks. Nice views over Carsington but let down a little with the quarry to one side and the clay shooting on the other.

  • 4/5 Shane B. 9 months ago on Google
    A little steep path but no issues getting up, worth it for the awesome views

  • 4/5 Roy F. 10 months ago on Google
    There is a fantastic view from the top and some good climbs I am told. Definitely no disabled access or parking.

  • 5/5 Jack B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful scenery. 5 minutes maximum from the FREE carpark. Amazing cave to enter, nice hour or two worth of looking around

  • 4/5 jack t. 3 years ago on Google
    Quite a nice walk over the hills and far away its was a bit windy up there but what do you expect when we just coming into summer

  • 5/5 Paul S. 5 years ago on Google
    Parking available in the layby just after the plant works. Walk up the path next to the works and climb up to the rocks. Great location for rock climbing. Good selection of easy and harder climbs. Excellent sweep views of the country side all around.

    Beautiful part of the Country with brilliant views

    We had a lovely sunny morning when we explored here.

  • 4/5 Gareth M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful views, quite busy with climbers and slightly tainted by the constant noise from the factory. But exceptional viewing across multiple counties.

    Lovely place, fantastic views 👍 nice place for the kids to explore too, if you go up on the right day you will also be able to spectate the clay shooters 🔫
