A slab of rock the size of a bungalow and thought to weigh 1,000 tonnes has fallen from one of the Lake District's best known crags, its owners have said.

Chance to put up some new routes on clean rock? It's an ill wind.

Is this the same rock/crag in St Johns in the Vale that I sit and look at from my favourite tea room on High Rigg?

It is I think, it's the crag/rock near Legburthwaite

Ahh, yes, it will be the same one then. Oooh, can't wait to revisit the tea room again now....erm, I mean walk in the area, to see the changes :D
Hope nothing/nobody was hurt.
Do we know what caused it? I know there's been murmurs about it happening for a while and it's been closely monitored for a number of years.

I'm not sure tbh but it has been a danger area for a few years with risk of parts of it ready to fall at any minute.
