FALCON CRAG, DERWENTWATER.
This is one of the minor heights which surround Derwentwater, being only 1,050 feet above the sea, the lake itself being 238 feet. Starting from Keswick south-easterly by the Windermere Road, and then turning off to the right, Wallow Crag is usually first visited; but though higher (1,234 feet), the view from this wooded height, fine as it is, is rather restricted by the trees. Falcon Crag, on the other hand, stands out bare and rugged, and is one of the best view-points from which the lake can be seen. This spot was a very favourite resort of Southey. From the crag a steep climb will take the pedestrian down into the Borrowdale road, or, continuing higher up along the side of the fell, a good walker may reach the falls of Lodore at the south end of the lake.
