Walla Crag

Walla Crag is a mountain summit standing at 379 meters that extends northwest from Bleaberry Fell and ends in a sheer cliff face. This rocky crest rises above Derwentwater and commands views in all directions from the top.

The mountain was formed through volcanic activity and belongs to the older geological layers of the Lake District region. Early surveys recorded varying height measurements until modern equipment established the precise current elevation.

Lady's Rake is a well-known passage that hikers and local people have used for generations to move between the summit and the valleys below. This route has become a defining feature of the landscape and is seen by many as a natural part of how people navigate the area.

Several established hiking paths lead to the summit, some starting from Brockle Beck, Great Wood, or Cat Gill near the National Trust car park. Visitors should bring proper footwear and weather protection as the mountain experiences changing conditions.

The mountain is composed of volcanic rocks from the Birker Fell Formation, which lie beneath a layer of drift deposits visible at the summit. This stone reveals the ancient geological history of the area to those who examine it closely.
