Kailpot Crag and Hallinhag Wood

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Kailpot Crag is a little cliff just off the lakeside trail. The water is deep here, and groups use this for coasteering. You can access the lake for a swim if you fancy it. If it's cooler or you don't fancy a dip the height of the crag means you get great views across the lake.
Hallinhag Wood is an ancient strip of woodland between Hallin Fell and Ullswater, The trail along this section is rough and rocky so although it's beautiful you need to keep an eye on your feet.
