Perhaps the most remote bouldering crag in Yorkshire, Great Wolfrey lies in an area of moorland near Grimwith Reservoir, an hours walk from the nearest road. The crag has some impressive routes, and good bouldering (particularly in the lower grades).
Many thanks to Paul Clough for providing the information here.

A small outcrop a few hundred metres north of the main edge. There are several easy walls and aretes here.
