Sighty Crag is a hill in Cumberland, in the southern part of the Kielder Forest, in which are found also such prominent fells as Peel Fell and the Larriston Fells. It is separated from its higher and more shapely counterpart, Peel Fell, by the low valley in which sits the village of Kielder.
The summit is marked by a wind-worn outcrop of fell sandstone.
Sighty Crag is in a particularly remote part of northern Cumberland, four miles from the nearest road, making any walk to the summit and back at least eight miles long. The Northumberland border runs over the hill's north top, just 650 yards from the summit, and the Roxburghshire border runs to the north.
Despite not being especially high, its topographic prominence has earned it a listing as a "Marilyn", and in terms of distance from civilisation it is the remotest Marilyn in England.
