The summit features a rocky outcrop with a small cairn that provides a perfect rest stop as you enjoy the spectacular views.
Water Crag is primarily composed of volcanic rock, with impressive crags and sloping shores formed from ancient lava flows. The rock structure offers a fascinating glimpse into the past geology of the area.
From the summit, you can see the stunning Haweswater Reservoir and the rolling fells of the Lake District, including the distant peak of High Street.
