Grasmoor towers over Crummock Water, its western face plunging so steeply that scree fans run right down to the lakeside road. The name is thought to come from the Old Norse 'grise', a wild boar, and on top it's a broad, grassy plateau kept short by sheep, with the high point beside a stone windshelter. The view takes in nearly every main Lakeland range, though the wide summit hides the valleys directly below.
