Tips

Hiking

Guise Cliff dominates the skyline above the village of Glasshouses and is an iconic landmark in Nidderdale. From the the cliff-edge you are afforded enchanting views over the dale. There are some interestingly-shaped stones around, too. Do take care on the cliff as vegetation can sometimes obscure drops between the rocks.

Hiking

The public footpath on the Ordnance Survey map is quite set back from the cliffs (some 150m or so), but there is an easily followed path along the cliff edge, which runs from the side of the television booster mast at Abraham Crags. There are some fabulous views to be taken in, but they are intermittent in spring/summer due to all the vegetation obscuring some of the views.
