⛰️ Green Crag

📖 Key Information

Green Crag at 489m (1,604ft) is a delightful rocky summit above the Ulpha Fells in Dunnerdale, its small crags and bilberry-covered knolls quite different in character from the high fells to the north. Wainwright included it in his Southern Fells guide, praising its excellent views south and west to the Duddon estuary and the Cumbrian coast. The ascent from Dunnerdale is short and rewarding, with good views of Black Combe to the south. Often combined with Harter Fell (Eskdale) and Birker Fell for a satisfying Dunnerdale circuit. A genuinely pleasant summit that well repays the modest effort needed to reach it.

🎯 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.
