"Second only to Scafell Crag in the magnificence of it's roocky arcitecture."

A Wainwright

Dow Crag, towering high above Goats Water is a magnificent mountain, favourite of both the walker and the climber it's rocky buttresses make an impressive view when seen from below or across the valley from The Old Man of Coniston.

The steep craggy east face is in stark contrast to the western slopes, descending towards the Duddon Valley.

The lower slopes of Dow Crag are crossed by the famous Walna Scar Road, once a busy quarry road, but now since the closure of the quarries a busy route for the fellwalkers.

Testimonials

Rating:

Just a quick message to say that the walk was great fun. I was impressed that my guide Rick was able to arrive on time even though the traffic was madness due to a race taking place in the same location. The walk was broken down into easy to manage segments and I felt very confident throughout the walk. I had been nervous about the drop that everyone spoke about. However, I followed the footsteps of the guide with ease. I really enjoyed myself and will be booking Rick for my next walk in the lakes. My dog, Koda enjoyed the walk and then we went to the Keswick Ghost Walk to work up an appetite for our pub dinner. It was a great day out. Many thanks Rick!
