The old path goes straight up to Knyaston's cave from the village, but nowadays the parking is round to the west. Either way I'd go to the middle bit first then explore - it's a very impressive place. There is bouldering around the cave you could do with a couple of floor mats from the car. It's all at the base of the crag so up you aren't likely to be temoted to get too high. Most of the routes - My Piano, Red Square etc - are round to the left but make sure you look at the big quarry to the right too - it's massive. There is a little natural outcrop of very hard rock on top of the big quarry and reached through tunnels in the rhododendrons, but you'd need a pad really. Great spot to hangout though.
Alternatively Grinshill is not far, the middle buttress is great for steep, juggy 5b/c highball/ solos that top out - a bit like Frodsham. When I used to climb there regularly pads hadn't been invented. Park in Clive and follow the holloway by the church up along the top of the edge. Go past the houses on the left then bear right. The other buttresses are mostly higher and sandier.
