  Leicestershire Bouldering
Ticknall Lime Yards
Limestone yarding


Some bouldering can be had on the shattered limestone blocks of Ticknall Lime Yards. Ticknall is in Derbyshire but is still closer to Leicestershire than Carver's Rocks and Anchor Church Caves. With some more traffic Ticknall could become a half decent local bouldering venue. Take a brush. Developed by Nigel Leeming.

Route descriptions can be found on the crag's entry on UKClimbing.com

Parking: Park courteously on Main Street (52.812749, -1.468659) 
Approach: Find the road with the green "Public Footpath" sign and follow this south into the Lime Yards. The best way to find your way around is to use the map on UKClimbing.


​There were formerly extensive lime quarries, brick and tile works, and a pottery worked in Ticknall; of these industries there now remains only the brick kilns, which are worked for estate purposes; the lime quarries are closed and the pottery has disappeared.
