Helm Crag is probably one of the most well known of all the Lakeland Fells, although many know it as 'The Lion and the Lamb'. The summit rocks bear a striking resemblance to a lion when viewed from various locations. Although not the tallest of fells, there is much to view on the summit. Whilst walking Helm Crag is a decent walk on its own, by adding on Gibson Crag and Calf Crag and an additional 250 metres of climbing, a wonderful ridge walk is formed that returns back down Far Easedale Gill in to Grasmere.
