Frairs Crag is a lovely viewpoint for Derwent Water, gloriously position for gazing into the Jaws of Borrowdale, beyond the wooded citadel of Castle Crag and to the higher fells beyond. It's only a short walk from Keswick.

A nearby monument recognises writer John Ruskin's first visit to the region in 1824. He was five years old at the time and later stated that the view from here was one of the very best in Europe.
