Topographical features: The Wainwright summit of Tarn Crag (Easedale) is the small cairn perched on a small rocky peak. The cairn is small and not a permanent feature. Whilst there is higher ground (of 3m) 100m WNW at NY 30277 09335 the Wainwright summit is the one recognised by other hill lists as well.
Points of interest: Deer Bield Crags forms the north face of Tarn Crag and is a recognised area for climbing. In the summer of 1997 a huge rockfall changed the character of this crag.
Tarns: Easedale Tarn is the large tarn to the south of the fell. Codale Tarn is a good sized tarn to the south west of the summit. There are other minor unnamed tarns on the ridge to the west of Tarn Crag’s top.
Waterfalls: Cascades in Sour Milk Gill, the beck which emanates from Easedale Tarn.
Adjoining Fells: Sergeant Man
Nearest facilities: Car parking: various pay and display car parks in Grasmere village where you will also find a great choice of pubs, tearooms and accommodation facilities.
