Walk Overview
Arnison Crag is the first walk depicted in Book One of Wainwright`s Guide books.
It is easily reached from the main road running through Patterdale and is what
I would describe as a "filler in" walk if the weather is too uncertain for a longer walk
The walk starts outside the White Lion Inn car park at Patterdale. There is space
for several cars to park at the side of the main road
Follow the path that runs between the car park and some houses
The path winds its way round to Mill Moss
After about five minutes walking the path leads to a gate which gives access
to the open fell side
Follow the path round through a line of crags to the Glemara Park boundary wall
Arnison Crag from the path
At the gate stay to the left of the boundary wall and follow the track up to Oxford Crag
Oxford Crag
The path skirts round the base of Oxford Crag and levels off
Looking back to Ullswater
The path narrows between the wall and the crag as it starts to swing
round to the summit approach
