Walk B

Black Crag & Tarn Hows

8.5 Miles Grade 2/3

Leader: Ian Rowley

Starting from Skelwith Hotel we'll follow woodland tracks to Colwith

and then make our way to cross the Coniston road and begin the steady climb onto Black Fell. Although one of the lowest Wainwrights, the summit of Black Crag commands fine views over Windermere and Coniston. From here we descend to Tarn Hows making a circuit of the tarns and dropping further to reach the route of the Cumbrian Way at Glen Mary Bridge.

We'll follow the Cumbrian Way to the centre of Coniston. A walk on mostly firm paths with one moderately steep climb to reach the top of Black Crag
