Eagle Crag, Sergeant's Crag, High Raise and Ullscarf from Stonethwaite

This route follows the Greenup Gill skyline, taking in the striking twin craggy heights of Eagle and Sergeant's Crags en route to the scarp edge of High Raise. Thereafter the route follows the broad ridge north over Ullscarf, the most centrally situated fell in the Lakes, before descending to Dock Tarn and the steep steps close to Willygrass Gill. For most of the walk you'll be away from the crowds, but from time to time you'll be reminded of the heavy visitor concentrations on particular paths – the Coast to Coast Walk and Cumbria Way being major influences. High Raise is inevitably a focus for walkers from three directions – Grasmere, Great Langdale and, to a lesser extent, Borrowdale. The ridge path used on this walk will be appreciated by discerning fell walkers, who will also revel in the solitude of Ullscarf.
