Crag Hill

Crag Hill is a mountain in the North Western part of the English Lake District.

The North Western Fells occupy the area between the rivers Derwent and Cocker, a broadly oval swathe of hilly country, elongated on a north–south axis.

The central sector, rising between Whinlatter and Newlands passes, includes Crag Hill.

To the north of Crag Hill is the col of Coledale Hause, the high level connection to Hopegill Head, focal point of a parallel but slightly lower ridge.

Crag Hill also has a southern ridge which steps down toward Buttermere over Wandope and Whiteless Pike.

The Causey Pike Fault runs across the southern flanks of the fell, beyond which are the rocks of the Buttermere Formation.

[3][4] From the shore of Crummock Water, Rannerdale Beck can be followed to its source, gaining the ridge between Crag Hill and Wandope.

[3] Many ascents of Crag Hill are made indirectly as part of a full traverse of the Grasmoor to Causey Pike ridge.
