This Castle Crag contour map print turns Castle Crag into clean, flowing lines. In fact, every contour is a step up in height, so you can read the shape of the mountain at a glance.
About Castle Crag
The lowest of all the Wainwrights, and one of the most memorable. It rises straight out of the Jaws of Borrowdale, its slopes scarred by old slate quarries where the ‘Professor of Adventure’ Millican Dalton once lived in a cave. A war memorial on the summit looks down the valley to Derwentwater.
How we make the Castle Crag contour map
First, we draw the contours from real elevation data. Then we take the summit height from a surveyed source, so the print is as accurate as it is decorative. Bolder lines also carry their heights along them, and a small triangle marks the summit itself. As a result, the print works both as a piece of art and as a record of the mountain.
Choosing your print
There are six colour styles: Minimal, Dark, Blueprint, Vintage, Forest and Slate. Each one comes in A3, A2 or 50 × 70 cm. You can also choose it unframed or in a solid pine frame in black, white, natural or dark wood. For example, Vintage suits a warm, traditional room, while Dark or Slate makes a bold statement on a pale wall. Finally, we print each one to order on quality matte paper, and every print has free UK delivery.
