Broad Crag is a fell in the English Lake District. It is the fifth-highest peak in England at a height of 3,064 feet (934 metres). The mountain was gifted to the National Trust in 1923 by the Fell and Rock Climbing Club. [3]

The peak forms part of the Scafell chain, and lies about 440 yards (400 metres) northeast of Scafell Pike. Ill Crag lies south-east, with Great End at the end of the chain about 1 mile (1.5 kilometres) to the north.

Broad Crag may be climbed en route to Scafell Pike, via a path from Esk Hause or from the route from Crinkle Crags and Bowfell.
