Yew Tree Tarn and Man Crag at the northern end of Holme Fell.
It is easily overlooked passing by Yew Tree Tarn on the A593 from Skelwith Bridge to Coniston but is a rewarding climb to a summit of just over 1000ft and then a delightful traverse. Probably the most popular starting points are from Hodge Close, Glen Mary Car Park or the layby at Yew Tree Tarn.
