The summit features a well-built cairn and a trig point, ideal for the obligatory summit selfie. Just make sure not to photobomb anyone else’s shot!
Grasmoor is primarily composed of volcanic rock, formed during the last stages of volcanic activity in the region, giving it a rugged appearance that has fascinated geologists and hikers alike.
From the summit, hikers can view the stunning peaks of the western fells, Crummock Water, and the sprawling landscape of the Lake District.
The name 'Grasmoor' is believed to derive from old Norse, with 'gras' meaning grass and 'moor' meaning open land, hinting at its lush grassy slopes.
Grasmoor holds historical significance as it is frequented by walkers seeking to engage with the natural beauty of the Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This is a classic and direct route to Grasmoor's summit. Starting at Cinderdale Common (grid reference NY158211), this route ascends via the Lad Hows ridge, offering stunning views over Crummock Water. The path is steep in places and requires good fitness, but the rewarding panoramas from the summit make it worthwhile.

This scenic route begins near the Rannerdale car park (grid reference NY162172). It ascends via Rannerdale Knotts and progresses along the ridge to Grasmoor. This path is quieter compared to more popular approaches, making it ideal for those seeking solitude.
Starting from Lanthwaite Green (grid reference NY149207), this route ascends alongside Liza Beck through the valley before tackling the steep climb to Grasmoor's summit. The route offers a mix of gentle valley walking and a challenging ascent, with views of the surrounding peaks and lakes.

Access via public transport is available through local buses connecting Cockermouth to Buttermere, a short walk from the trailhead.
Near the parking area, facilities are sparse, but Cockermouth has plenty of lovely cafes, shops, and pubs for a post-hike pint or slice of cake.
