Warton Crag Road Climb

Highlight • Natural Monument

Warton Crag is a limestone outcrop with several old quarries and a small hill fort at the top.
It's managed by the Wildlife Trust due to the important habitat for small animals, birds and butterflys.
Warton Crag road climbs steeply out of Warton and traverses around the southwest edge of the hill before descending again to Crag Foot. It's a nice section to ride with great views across Morecombe Bay to the southern Lake District.
