Grey Crag, Mountain summit in Cumbria, United Kingdom
Grey Crag is a mountain peak reaching 638 meters in the Lake District Fells of Cumbria. A rocky outcrop sits roughly 40 meters north of the main stone cairn that marks the summit.
The summit area contains remnants of Greycrag Tarn, which was once a larger lake but now appears as several small boggy pools. This change shows how the landscape has shifted through natural processes over time.
Grey Crag belongs to multiple distinguished peak classifications including the Birkett Hills, Hewitt Hills, Nuttalls Hill List, and Wainwright Hills of England.
The summit is reachable from Longsleddale valley or via eastern ridges that connect from the A6 road. The climb follows established paths across typical mountain terrain with changing conditions.
The mountain's water drainage flows toward two separate coastal areas: the Solway Firth to the north and Morecambe Bay to the south. This makes it an interesting point for those curious about how water divides across the landscape.
