Lanty's Tarn is a small tarn at the eastern edge of Birkhouse Moor above Patterdale. The name comes from a shortened version of Lancelot who used to own the estate (not the knight). It was dammed and slightly enlarged in the 19th century and used for fishing and ice. There is an old icehouse nearby.
Today it's the destination of a popular walk from Glenridding or Patterdale.
