Castlerigg Stone Circle, Walla Crag, Ashness Bridge

 a 7.5 mile hike taking me first to Castlerigg Stone Circle before climbing up to Walla Grag and then on to Ashness Bridge before the return back to Keswick.

The crag is the terminal cliff on a short ridge running north west from Bleaberry Fell, dropping about 400 ft from the plateau above. Below this are further steep slopes before the gradient slackens on the shore of Derwentwater. The face is heavily wooded — mainly with conifers — almost to the top. The trees continue down through Great Wood to the lake.
