Wharncliffe Crags stand on the eastern side of the upper River Don valley at around above sea level, the highest spot height being . Although set in a pleasant situation, the northern end of the crags are never far away from the buzz of civilisation with the noise of the nearby Stocksbridge bypass and A6102 road ever-present; there are also two lines of electricity pylons, which converge at the northern end of the crags. The escarpment was formed 320 million years ago in the Paleozoic era.
