Black Crag & Tarn Hows

Had a fabulous walk today. We headed up to Black Crag from Elterwater Park on the Coniston to Ambleside road. Black Crag is a Wainwright, but it's not very high, a mere 1076 feet, but it provides fabulous views all around.

Looking towards Fairfield from the path up to Black Crag.

Looking towards Dunmail Raise from the path up to Black Crag.

Another view in the direction of Fairfield.

Wetherlam from Black Crag.

Wetside Edge from Black Crag with some nice light in the middle ground.

There is a trig point on the top of Black Crag, but for my shot of the summit I preferred this lovely undulating drystone wall.

This view of Windermere is also taken from the summit.

This view from the summit shows Tarn Hows, Coniston Water and the Duddon estuary in the distance.

A view across to Coniston Old Man.

From Black Crag we headed down to Tarn Hows.

And out to Tarn Hows Cottage......

.....and down to Boon Crag near the head of Coniston Water.
