"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:

John. Thanks once again for a great day out. The weather was a challenge at times and I'm sure my own personal lack of fitness gave Jack a bit to think about. He was excellent on the day. Like James before, a credit to you to pick such good young mountain leaders. Very safe. Attentive. Prepared. Great local knowledge. I have enjoyed hiking to Scafell twice in the last 6 weeks, with my daughter and my fiancée TLDW. Successful days thanks to two very good guides and your company. I would not want to tackle SP without them! We will be back this year. I spoke to Jack about an idea for a trip with a group of grads from my company. Will be in touch. Thanks to you and Lyanda personally from me for looking after us. Regards. Dan
