    Tips

    February 7, 2023

    Blea Water is a gorgeous pool nestled in a huge glacially-carved combe beneath Mardale Ill Bell, High Street and Long Side. It has the distinction of being the Lake District's deepest tarn, at over 200 feet (61 m) deep. You can reach the tarn from Mardale Head or by descending from High Street's excellent Long Stile ridge.

      Lovely spot for a swim or spot of lunch before heading up onto High Street.
