Ard Crags
| "Interest in the climb quickens at the foot of Aiken Knott. Bracken is succeeded by heather, through which a neat and charming track winds up the narrow ridge to the east top." |

Although not huge mountains the fine ridge of the Ard Crags and Knott Rigg climbs steeply above the Newlands Valley to a steep sided and narrow ridge. The heathery summit ridge climbing above Aiken Knott to Ard Crags and sweeping south west to the summit of Knott Rigg, above Newlands Hause, is a delightful half days walk with amazing views over the Newlands Valley to the north and Buttermere to the south and of the higher fells on all sides. |
| "In fell-climbing (as in other pursuits) there is a difference between achievement and satisfaction. One's sense of achievement is roughly in proportion to altitude gained by effort, but one's sense of satisfaction is not necessarily governed by the same rule. Lonely Ard Crags offers, especially in August, a climb up to a personal heaven of one's very own." |
