About Grasmoor

Grasmoor rises to 852 m (2,795 ft) at the western end of the Coledale fells, above Crummock Water and the village of Buttermere. With 518 m of prominence it is a Marilyn as well as a Wainwright, Hewitt, Nuttall and Birkett. Its western face drops in a steep wall of scree and heather to the lake shore.
