Introduction Don’t Be a Dickhead Forest Rock lies within the quiet village of Woodhouse

Eaves in very close proximity to houses. Noise from the

cave carries to these houses and can torment the

residents, some of whom are elderly and may be in at

all times of the day.

To save the locals from bother, develop good relations

and avoid access issues in the future please:

Avoid shouting and bad language

Keep conversations at a low volume

Take any litter home with you

don’t use the crag as a toilet; there is

a public toilet by the park.

Location Park sensibly on Church Hill in Woodhouse Eaves.
