    This pretty tarn is situated nestled within a rugged upland landscape just below Beacon Fell. The relatively shallow tarn has a reputation as a wild swimming spot and you may see a few folks braving the waters in hot weather.

      The Cumbria Way passes by the side of Beacon Tarn. It is a lovely tranquil spot especially on a warm sunny day.

        Good place for a picnic. Tempting for wild swimming maybe, but on a warmer day!
