⛰️ Crook Crag

📖 Key Information

Crook Crag at 456m (1,496ft) is a rocky fell top in the Dunnerdale Fells above the Duddon valley, its craggy summit giving fine views across to the Coniston Fells and south to the coast. Part of the group of lower fells above the Duddon that Wainwright explored in his Southern Fells. The ascent from Dunnerdale gives good views of the Duddon valley throughout. A pleasant outing in quiet fell country.

🎯 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.
