A pretty tarn in Urswick, Urswick Tarn is a popular spot among locals, especially anglers. The tarn is surrounded by limestone rocks dating back over 300 million years. Because of the unique way in which limestone dissolves, there are many caverns and caves underneath the tarn, making it a wonder that the water stays in the tarn at all.
A tarn is by definition a small mountain lake.
