Green Crag, Mountain summit in Cumbria, England
Green Crag rises to 489 meters in elevation between Eskdale and Duddon Valley, presenting rocky northern slopes with a distinct serrated skyline visible from multiple vantage points.
The summit gained recognition through its inclusion in Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, marking a significant boundary for regional fell walking territories.
The mountain contains remnants of 1880s industrial heritage, including the Gate Gill iron mine which extracted haematite during the Victorian mining period in the Lake District.
Visitors can access the summit from Birker Fell Road with designated parking areas, while marked paths through conifer plantations provide access from the Duddon Valley direction.
The summit features exposed rock formations from the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, requiring basic scrambling skills to reach the top where views extend toward the southern fells.
