    Tips

    Hiking

    The rock probably took its name from the fact that the upper layers of rock overhang slightly, or maybe from the old-english word ‘hangra’, meaning ‘a wood on a steep hill-side’. It certainly is on a steep hillside which may have once been wooded. Certainly no hangings took place there, as is often miscommunicated.
    See if you can find two inscriptions. The one for Lt Col Brocklehurst is fairly obvious, but there is also one for a dog!
