Grey Friar
Wainwright - The Southern Fells
Height: 770m (2526ft)
Grey Friar is part of the Coniston fells and linked to Swirl How and Great Carrs by a grassy plain called Fairfield. The summit views are great, with many vantage points north, south and west. An interesting summit feature is Matterhorn Rock (see second photo below) which has striking resemblance to the Matterhorn in the Swis Alps.
