Don Whillans Memorial Hut

Don Whillans Memorial Hut

Located at the Roaches in Staffordshire, the Don Whillans Hut is a unique building, superbly located amongst the buttresses and boulders of this historic climbing area. The hut is so conveniently close to the crags that you can almost belay from the hut!

The hut is leased by the BMC and administered by a volunteer team. It is situated on the Roaches Estate, which is managed by the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.

Who can book?

The hut is open all year round and can be booked by Individual and Club members of the BMC.
