Cadshaw Castle Rocks
Off A666 Blackburn Road, Cadshaw, between Darwen and Egerton, BB3 2TX · Blackburn & Burnley
A gritstone outcrop and quarry on United Utilities land in the moors between Darwen and Egerton, popular with climbers since 1937 with over 40 established routes. From the Green Arms Road parking, walk 50m up the A666 to a track signposted 'Egerton' and follow it for about 1km to reach the rocks. A good spot for older kids to watch climbers and explore the moorland edge on foot.
Spark Hub tip: Roughly a 1km walk in from the road with no facilities on site; the rock can be green and slippery after rain (BMC).
