Sergeant's Crag

Sergeant's Crag is a mountain summit in England's Lake District that rises to about 571 meters and can be reached from several directions. A stone wall enclosure and a heap of stones mark the peak, offering views across the surrounding valleys below.

The mountain was shaped by geological processes over millions of years and contains layers of sandy stone, breccia, and volcanic material. These rock formations reveal the region's ancient past when it formed under very different conditions.

The Lake District mountains, including Sergeant's Crag, influenced numerous English poets who wrote about the natural landscapes during the 19th century.

You can reach the summit from several directions, with the most direct route following the stone wall from Eagle Crag. Come prepared for changing weather and bring proper hiking gear for the ascent.

The northwestern face shows a pronounced gully with climbing slabs, while Blea Rock marks the base of the slopes toward Langstrath valley. These rock features make it a spot of interest for climbers and set it apart from other nearby peaks.
