"This is a simple and straightforward climb....very suitable for persons up to 7 years of age or over 70."

A Wainwright

To the south west of the Ard Crags the fine heathery ridge continues descending only slightly to the summit of Knott Rigg, before dropping over grassy slopes to Newlands Hause and Buttermere beyond. To the north Sail Beck descends towards Buttermere, dividing Knott Rigg from the higher ground around Eel Crag. To the south Keskadale Beck descends from Newlands Hause to the Newlands Valley.

Knott Rigg is usually either climbed from Rigg Beck via the Ard Crags ridge, a great short ridge walk or as an even shorter walk from either Buttermere or the summit of Newlands Hause.

Hi John, good morning. I want to thank you for arranging and guiding the walk around Grasmere on Saturday. David and I really enjoyed the walk! It gave me a very good introduction and orientation to somewhere I don’t know at all. I also particularly appreciated your knowledge of the Lakeland poets: I will be doing some additional reading to get a better sense of the background. As I said before, I am planning exploring some more and will get in touch with some ideas (in particular the northern lakes) and possible dates. Have a good week Best wishes Caroline
