Walna Scar is a hill in the English Lake District, lying just south of a pass of the same name in the Coniston Hills. Its summit is only slightly higher than the pass, but few reach it, preferring instead to head north from the top of the pass to Dow Crag and the other Coniston Fells. Nevertheless Walna Scar in itself provides a satisfying walk and on a good day has great views over Coniston (the lake and the village) and across Morecambe Bay.
Walna Scar is the highest of Wainwright's The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.
Walna Scar is usually climbed from Coniston but can be climbed just as easily from the Duddon Valley. Both routes meet at the top pass of the Walna Scar Road,[1] and then head south to the summit.
