Crag Hill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the mountain in the Lake District. For the mountain in the Yorkshire Dales, see Crag Hill (Yorkshire Dales).
Crag Hill is a mountain in the North Western part of the English Lake District. It was formerly known as Eel Crag; however, the Ordnance Survey now marks Eel Crag as referring to the northern crags of the fell. It is not to be confused with another Crag Hill lying on the border of North Yorkshire.
