Black Crag & Holme Fell

Black Crag & Holme Fell

"A craggy southern front, a switchback ridge, a cluster of small but very beautiful tree-girt tarns, and a great quarry that reveals the core of colourful slate lying beneath the glorious jungle of juniper and birch, heather and bracken, make this one of the most attractive of Lakeland's fells."
A.Wainwright

The beautiful stretch of land, in the triangle between Ambleside, Coniston and Hawkshead, although comprising of very little high ground is full of charm, rolling countryside and some breathtaking views.

There are however two felltops in this area which when combined together from Tarn Hows make a magnificent walk, full of ever changing views and charm.

This route combines the summits of Black Crag with it's views east towards and over Windermere and Holme Fell with it's sunning views over Coniston Water.

Along with these views the walk combines crags, quarries, tarns and a few reservoirs on the way as well as some great views of the higher fells around Coniston and Langdale.
