Above Ennerdale
"The fell, indeed, has all the qualities of ruggedness and cragginess characteristic of the Wasdale mountains, and the approaches to it have charm of surroundings not usually associated with such rough terrain." |

The high ground to the south of Ennerdale is some of the most remote and least visited in Lakeland, this route, from the shores of Ennerdale Water climbs four of the mountains in this area, the lower summits of Crag Fell and Grike before climbing over the huge expanse of Caw Fell, the huge rolling ridge climbing high above Ennerdale towards the higher fells of Wasdale. The ridge leads east from Caw Fell to climb to the rocky summit of Haycock, from the summit of Haycock we will descend north to the Ennerdale Valley to the shores of Ennerdale Water following the shoreline back below Anglers Crag. |
"Caw Fell is a fell that should not be under-estimated. It is remote from shelter or habitation." |
