Large tarn with dramatic views up the flanks of Coniston Old Man, and in the other direction down towards Coniston and Coniston Water (on a clear day). There is a weir at the SE corner that is crossable (with care, especially if there has been heavy rain as the water flows fast) - this avoids a long detour down into the Coppermines Valley to gain access to the paths leading up to the lower fells beneath the Old Man.

This is, in my opinion, the best route up to Coniston Old Man.
