Loughrigg Tarn

Loughrigg Tarn is a small natural lake in the Lake District. The name is a bit of a tautology, as "loughrigg" means "back of the lake" and "tarn" means a small mountain lake.

Loughrigg Tarn is breathtakingly beautiful. Almost circular, with striking views north-west towards the Langdale Pikes, and with a variety of aquatic plants, it is a stunning place to visit and is not as popular as you might imagine. Loughrigg Tarn was a favoured place of William Wordsworth, who, in his Epistle to Sir George Howland Beaumont Bart, likened it to “Diana’s Looking-glass...round, clear and bright as heaven".

Definitely worth incorporating with Loughrigg Fell walk especially if it’s sunny bring your swimming gear and cool of ,Very sceanic
