Helm Crag etc...
"The virtues of Helm Crag have not been lauded enough. It gives an exhilarating little climb, a brief essay in real mountaineering, and, in a region where all is beautiful, it makes a notable contribution to the natural charms and attractions of Grasmere." |

A circuit of the fells above Greenburn gives a spectacular days walking, there is no need to go too high when views like these can be found on the lower fells. The highest point of the circuit, Steel Fell, gives a unique view over Thirlmere, looking along the whole length of the lake. Calf Crag and Gibson Knott both have their own charms and some wonderful views of the Greenburn and Far Easdale valleys, but it is when the walker reaches Helm Crag that they are really rewarded with some of the best views in the Lake District. |
"This is a splendid little climb; if it has a fault it is that it is too short." |
