Loughrigg Tarn from Ivy Crag. Photo by Tony Richards
This is a tarn of outstanding beauty - being almost circular in form, with striking views north-west towards the Langdale Pikes, and with a variety of aquatic plants around its margins. Wordsworth described it as being a 'most beautiful example'.
