The 1,440-foot (449 m) high Wainwright summit of Great Crag has epic views to the north of Watendlath Tarn and the Skiddaw range. To the south-west, the valley view towards Seathwaite is equally impressive. I visited as it was easing towards sunset in April 2021 and it was so peaceful. The hills here are heather clad and a network of paths weave over and around the lumps and bounds of this fell which is full of character.

A Wainwright set amidst quite a boggy atmospheric area of the fells. Nice views all round.
