The English Lakes:Recent articles/Greathead Crag

Greathead Crag is part of the eastern flanks of Wainwright's Tarn Crag, located on the northern side of Easedale Tarn. This combined ridge dominates the view upon reaching the top of Sourmilk Gill. A there-and-back-walk, starting from Grasmere, incorporates both Tarn and Greathead Crags, reaching an elevation of 551 metres (1,808 feet) at the summit of Tarn Crag. The view from the ridge is far-reaching, especially from the cairn at the viewpoint, and the actual summit of Tarn Crag. From here the Langdale Pikes can be seen. (read more)
