⛰️ Caw

📖 Key Information

Caw at 529m (1,736ft) is an isolated, rocky summit in the Dunnerdale Fells above the Duddon valley, its craggy top giving fine views of the Coniston Fells and the Duddon estuary. Wainwright included it in the Western Fells, noting its pleasant character and the excellent views it gives of the southern Lake District. The ascent from Seathwaite in Dunnerdale is a fine short walk. An interesting fell with good rock scenery and views across the Duddon valley.

🎯 Bonus Birketts within 3 km

These Birkett tops are not Wainwright summits — detour to them on this walk and they are pure profit. Distances are straight-line; allow extra for terrain.
