General:

Cloudy Crags is beside the large MOD early warning golf ball thing on the moors west of Alnwick. It is notable for a very striking sandstone arch, visible from afar. Unfortunately the rock is very poor and, interesting though the crag is, it is not much use for either cragging or bouldering. The boulders on the moor beside the crag aren't much better.

Rock:  

Fell Sandstone Carboniferous, Dinantian
