Grike, Summit in Lake District National Park, England
Located in Cumbria, Grike reaches an elevation of 488 meters and features limestone formations with vertical fissures carved by water erosion over time.
The geological formation of Grike dates back to the Carboniferous period, when sedimentary rocks were deposited in shallow marine environments 359 million years ago.
Local shepherds have utilized the natural limestone features around Grike for centuries to construct traditional dry stone walls that segment grazing areas.
Hikers can access Grike through marked trails from Ennerdale Valley, with the summit offering views of the Irish Sea and surrounding mountains.
The limestone pavement near Grike contains vertical cracks that create specialized environments for rare plant species adapted to alkaline soil conditions.
