Almscliffe Crag, Millstone grit outcrop near North Rigton, England.
The rock formation rises 198 meters above sea level, featuring distinct gritstone surfaces and natural caves within its structure.
First documented in the thirteenth century as Almusclyve, the crag contains carved initials of Thomas Fawkes and Edwin Lascelles in its crevices.
A depression at the top called Wart Well holds local significance, where people once believed dipping hands in its waters cured skin conditions.
The site includes 680 climbing routes of varying grades, with seasonal restrictions from February 8 to February 6 during bird nesting periods.
The formation served as a filming location for multiple television productions, including the opening sequence of Emmerdale from 1998 to 2005.
