I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Discover one of the most scenic Lake District circular walks starting from Stonethwaite, climbing up to Great Crag, and exploring Grange Fell before looping back. This hike offers breathtaking views, peaceful woodlands, and classic Lakeland landscapes. Perfect for walkers looking for a moderately challenging but rewarding route in Borrowdale.
Route: Stonethwaite → Great Crag → Grange Fell → Return to Stonethwaite
Distance: ~6–7 miles (approx.)
Duration: 3–4 hours (depending on pace)
Highlights: Stunning fell views, hidden tarns, and a quiet alternative to the busier Lakeland peaks.
If you’re planning a Lake District hike, or looking for ideas for your next Borrowdale walking route, this circular walk is a fantastic choice!
I parked in Stonethwaite (limited so would have to be early to secure a spot) and the only way to this location is by trekking, I'm afraid. No short cuts, but the views are spectacular.
