About Causey Pike

Causey Pike reaches 637 m (2,090 ft) at the eastern end of the ridge that runs west from Newlands towards Crag Hill. You can pick out its humped top from Keswick and Derwentwater. It is a Wainwright, Hewitt, Nuttall and Birkett, with 40 m of prominence, and Scar Crags, the nearest higher top, is 1.0 km to the west.
