About

Black Cragg rises directly above the Tilberthwaite road and rewards a good climb with a sweeping panorama of the Coniston fells, the lake and the distant Scafells. The path is clear but rugged; proper boots and a map are essential.

Roger Recommends

"Start from the Tilberthwaite car park and take the less-used eastern shoulder for a quieter ascent."
