    The wonderfully named Windgather Rocks is a grand gritstone crag that's popular with climbers, offering steep, juggy routes. It provides superb views across the national park. The crag is part of the ridge system that extends south along the Cheshire Derbyshire border, culminating in Shining Tor, Cheshire's highest point.
