You can reach this lovely Tarn by way of a good (though quite steep in places) track that goes up from Hartsop. It was apparently dammed in 1908, supplying water to Penrith, but this has since been removed. The water is crystal clear, and the banks are grazed by sheep. On a calm day, it's a very peaceful spot.
