Beeston Tor, Limestone cliff in Wetton, England
The limestone formation rises above the meeting point of the River Hamps and River Manifold, creating vertical walls reaching 70 meters in height.
A narrow gauge railway station operated near Beeston Tor from 1904 to 1934, serving passengers along the Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway line.
The limestone walls contain routes named The Beest, Black Grub, and Majolica, reflecting traditional climbing terminology developed by local mountaineers.
Visitors can park at Weag's Bridge and walk south along the river for 15 minutes, or use Beeston Tor farm parking for a fee of 1 pound.
The cliff faces contain numerous pocketed surfaces and natural formations, providing climbers with routes of varying difficulty levels throughout the structure.
