Not to be confused with Gray Crag above Hayeswater, Grey Crag is the most easterly Wainwright summit and a serene place where you feel as though you have one foot in Lakeland and another in the Pennines. The land to the east of the summit is rolling and desolate, while to the west the ridges of the Kentmere Horseshoe signal mountainous country. Grey Crag stands on a true threshold.

Grey Crag is a 2,093 feet (638 m) Wainwright fell in the Far Eastern Lake District National Park. It's officially the most easterly Wainwright. Watch out for some very wet ground between Grey Crag and Tarn Crag if you're linking these two summits on your walk. You need to channel your inner gazelle and leap over the marshy peat hag sections, alternatively some people opt to keep close to the fence.
