The north end of Kyloe Crag A small, but perfectly-formed, outcrop of Northumbrian sandstone. This is a well-known climbing venue in the northeast of England, although most of the best climbing is further south along the outcrop, rather than here at the northern end.

Quarried section on Kyloe Crag From nearby, this certainly appears to be a square-cut quarried section. None of the rest of the outcrop has been worked and remains in a natural state.

'F' Buttress of Kyloe Crag An impressive-looking section of the crag, but it's actually only about 40' high, and split into two tiers by a ledge at half height. There are 3 or 4 recognised climbs on this buttress, most of them quite hard.
