Hiking

As Adv Nic said, most people come to Lank Rigg from the NE. However I came in from the West parking on the Ennerdale to Calder mountain road. There are a few places there to park but not many. It is a good place to start from to take in the three Western Wainwrights of Grike, Crag Fell and Lank Rigg. Mind you I did it on a horrid day and saw nothing for the 2nd day in a row!

Hiking

Lank Rigg is a fell in the Western Lake District National Park. It is 1,775 feet (541 m) high. There is a trig pillar on the summit and views over to the coast and surrounding western fells. Lank Rigg is most commonly hiked from the north east, this is the only path that's shown on the map. Many link this fell to Crag Fell and Grike, creating a nice circular.
