Just to the east of the Leven Estuary, Bigland Tarn is a lovely place to take a picnic. There are views to the Coniston Fells, whilst the surrounding land makes for some lovely rural ambles. Nearby Bigland Barrow is one of Wainwright's Outlying Fells and offers splendid views from the lockout tower on its summit.

Be careful of ticks here! My dog got absolutely covered in ticks at this Tarn. Have since removed 10 from his skin. We stopped here for less than 3 minutes and could see them crawling over him :( honestly never seen anything like it.
