    Hiking

    Walla Crag, at 1,243 feet (379 m), is a diminutive Wainwright that rises above Derwentwater's eastern shore. What it lacks in height, it makes up for with splendid views across the lake towards shapely favourite, Catbells.

    Along with Latrigg, this is the easiest Wainwright summit to ascend directly from Keswick. It's not far from the picturesque and historic Castlerigg Stone Circle either, a classic vantage for Blencathra. Walla Crag can be linked with Bleaberry Fell and High Seat — a nice but often boggy fell walk.

    Great view over Derwent Water with not too heavy climb. Ideal in sunshine.
