Grasmoor, Mountain summit in Lake District, England
Grasmoor stands as the highest mountain in the North Western Lakes, reaching 852 meters with steep scree slopes and crags on its western side.
The large ancient cairn at the mountain's summit remains among the highest prehistoric markers found across the mountains of England, indicating early human presence.
The mountain's name derives from Old Norse language elements, reflecting the historical Nordic influence on geographical naming patterns in the Lake District region.
Multiple walking paths lead to the summit from Lanthwaite, involving a substantial elevation gain of 610 meters through rocky terrain and scree slopes.
The mountain features unusual dry hollows in Dove Crags, formed by significant land movements dating back approximately 20,000 years.
