"Grike is the beginning of Lakeland from the west.."
A Wainwright

From the level plains of West Cumbria the land begins to rise, reaching at last the high ground on Grike, the westernmost edge of the Lake District and the terminus of the ridge descending west from Pillar, over Haycock and along the long shoulder of Caw Fell.

The tree lined northern slopes descend steeply to Ennerdale, from where a good path climbs over Crag Fell. To the south and west, barring a few sections of forestry land the ground drops gently over grassy moorland towards the Cold Fell Road.

On the western slopes of Grike lies the Kinniside Stone Circle, an ancient stone circle lying just off the Cold Fell Road.
