Thirlstane Arch is a natural rock formation situated in the Peak District National Park, England. This impressive arch-shaped rock is a popular spot for rock climbing and bouldering, attracting adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. The arch's unique shape, formed through millions of years of erosion, offers a challenging and exhilarating climbing experience with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dan on the cliffs. He was very engaging and encouraging. He was so supportive and helpful to all of our party. Dan even went into overtime to give us all an experience of abseiling too. Honestly, it is worth a shot, a really fun way to spend a few hours. P.S. thanks for your insight into the local MTB trails too
A delightful place for rock climbing and beach combing...
Rock Climbing at Southernness beach was brilliant, even though i'm a beginner i was able to try some great climbing routes there is also many harder ones for more experienced climbers. Daniel the instructor was awesome, friendly & very knowledgeable and is capable of teaching you the basics in 10 mins, even offered me a ride home (I walked along the beach from Park-dean resort) I got to try 4 climbing routes and at the end we got to repel down from the top SAS style!! Would highly recommend try it out. Safety gear and all. TL;DR: Great price, Near Park-dean caravan park, Scenic walk to the climbing area (if walking), Car park if coming by car Overall pleasure to meet Daniel and be able to learn how to climb Make sure to give him a call before you book and also check the weather

Fantastic beach. Lovely and peaceful. My kids loved it
Great boulder
Wheelchair-accessible entrance
