    This tarn and, in fact, the surrounding area, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI): this is largely because of the limestone areas that surround it. The tarn is a marl lake, with lots of ferns around it. A beautiful place with a rugged feel to the area.

      A dramatic objective, which makes for a marvellously secluded lunch spot. As you unwind by the serene waters, drink in the views of the Howgill Fells, Wild Boar Fell and the nearby escarpment that leads to limestone pavement of Great Asby Scar.
