Hiking
The rocks are situated on a hill called 'Hasty Banks', and there are fantastic views across to Middlesbrough and the Tees from here.
On the lower ground surrounding the Wainstones, there's a small collection of rocks with prehistoric carvings on them. Due to the area’s exposed location and consequent erosion, the carvings can be difficult to see, however.
