Carron Crag

Carron Crag is a summit in Grizedale Forest within the Lake District and features a trig point with rock formations at its top. The location is reached by several well-marked walking paths that wind through the forested slopes.

The area was documented by writer Alfred Wainwright in his guide to the outlying hills of the Lake District. This attention helped establish the location as a recognized walking destination.

The summit is part of popular walking routes through Grizedale Forest and serves as a destination for day hikers exploring the area. Many visitors follow the paths that have become established over generations of exploration.

Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the paths can be uneven and moisture is common in the forest. The best conditions for hiking occur during dry weather when underfoot conditions are most secure.

The summit holds a collection of roughly 70 artistic sculptures integrated into the natural landscape. One of these works stands beside the trig point, creating an unexpected blend of art within the outdoor setting.
