This is a pleasant short walk on good paths. From the car park at the lovely village at Hartsop take the track that leads to Hayeswater but leave it to follow the path to the old filter house. The trail then heads up the hillside on a good graded zig and zag path which takes you over grassy hillocks to the summit. Good views of Angletarn, Angletarn Pikes and over to the Eastern Fells. Return by the same route. To read more about this route click the link https://jimearl6.com/brock-crags-from-hartsop-village/#more-7288
