Thornthwaite Crag Beacon

Highlight • Viewpoint

Thornthwaite Crag is a 2,572-foot (784 m) Wainwright fell in the Lake District National Park. It overlooks four valleys and the Thornthwaite Beacon tower which is over 13 feet (4 m) in height makes the mountain recognisable for miles around. The true summit is the natural rock on the ground 150 feet (45 m) north of the beacon. In his book, Alfred Wainwright recommends walking around the summit plateau to get a good view of all aspects of the surroundings.
