Nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park, Helm Crag is a small but stunning peak that offers breathtaking views and a memorable hillwalking experience. Known locally as the “Lion and the Lamb” due to its unique rock formations,
​
The views from the summit of Helm Crag are truly breathtaking and offer a panoramic vista of the surrounding Lake District. From the top, you can see the nearby peaks of Fairfield, Seat Sandal, and the Langdale Pikes, as well as the shimmering waters of Grasmere and Rydal Water.
​
Helm Crag is a perfect walk for anyone who wants to experience walking in the lakes but doesn't want to climb one of it's highests peaks. We've done this walk with our teenage kids and they loved it.
​
At the summit we will stop for a breather and a few photos before heading off to Far Easedale where we will find a place to stop for our packed lunch.
​
This is a circular walk so we will finish in Grasmere for a well-deserved brew before we head off home.
