Located in the woods below Froggatt Edge, The Downes Hut is an ideal base for climbing on the gritstone edges. It is within easy walk of Froggatt Edge itself.
Recently, completely refurbished with the aid of a grant from the National Lottery/English
Sports Council, this hut now offers comfortable, dry accomodation in the heart of the Peak
District and within easy distance of many of the Peak crags, and now has limited facilities
for disabled users.
Notes: Cooking by calor gas. Refuse should be at the roadside, next to the entrance to the driveway; only refuse in green bags will be collected, and those green bags should not be used for any other purpose. Access to Froggatt crag is via the footpath up the wooded slope directly opposite the hut drive.
There is a small BBQ - take your own charcoal and dispose the ashes with care.
