Castle Crag
from Rosthwaite

Borrowdale

(Such captivating views ensure that you will not want to rush your climb to the summit)

Highlights of this walk

  • a short walk with some challenging sections
  • riverside and woodland
  • views over Borrowdale and Derwent Water
The ascent of Castle Crag from the National Trust car park in Rosthwaite, Cumbria, offers some challenges but the 1 1/2 mile walk to the summit can be achieved in an hour without hurrying. It provides wonderful views over some of the prettiest scenes in The Lake District.

Safety and Difficulty

This is a short walk (1 1/2 miles to the summit) and you can get there and back in a couple of hours without hurrying. But take care on some sections where steep slopes are covered by loose stones and it is easy to lose your balance. Wear good shoes or boots and take care!
