Peace Sanctuary is a climbing area in Connecticut managed by a non-governmental organization. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots and trails in the state's eastern corner, about 1.1 miles from Sandy Hollow Cave and roughly 2.3 miles from the Ledyard Areas. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Groton weather station run from highs around 66°F in May to about 81°F in July, with September easing back to the mid-70s. Other nearby options include the Mystic River, about 2.2 miles away, for paddling, and the Groton X-Town Trail, about 2.7 miles away, for hiking.
