Crags The distinctive line of cliffs forming the northern edge of the Stronend plateau.  The map suggests that a walk to Stronend could be an exciting, airy one along the top of these cliffs but in reality it's not all that easy or practical to get close to the cliffs for much of the time.  To the south of the cliffs is a large expanse of boggy moor making for difficult walking.
