Dove Crag is part of a chain of crags that run across the Simonside Hills forming the fells' distinctive outline.
The Crag was formed 15,000 years ago when ice 1 km thick scoured the land removing the softer rocks to the north and south. The rocks of Fell Sandstone are exposed to the prevailing winds from the west that blow almost unhindered across this part of Northumberland. Natural erosion has sculpted the rocks into some of the most appealing shapes and forms.
