Thornthwaite Crag

Thornthwaite Crag rises to 784 meters above sea level, featuring a broad horseshoe-shaped summit area with grass-covered terrain and intersecting stone walls.

The High Street Roman road, constructed during the Roman occupation of Britain, passes near the summit and served as a major transportation route through the region.

The summit hosts a 4.3-meter-high stone beacon that marks an important junction point for numerous walking paths across the Far Eastern Fells of England.

Multiple access routes lead to the summit from Hartsop via Pasture Beck, from Troutbeck through Scot Rake, and from the village of Kentmere.

The mountain forms the highest point of the Kentmere horseshoe and contains a distinctive cairn that guides travelers through varying weather conditions.
