    Hiking

    Crag Hill is a 2,753-foot (839 m) Wainwright fell in the Lake District National Park. In Wainwright's guides, it is named Eel Crag, however Eel Crag properly refers to the crags on the north side of the fell.

    It's commonly hiked as part of the Coledale Round. The summit is broad and flat. There is a trig pillar on top but the true summit is 155 feet (35 m) south of the trig point. It's a great fell from which to admire Coledale Beck, winding down the valley towards Braithwaite.
