Tarn Hows large image

Tarn Hows

Tarn Hows is a picturesque beauty sport just to the north of Coniston, originally three smaller tarns, Low, Middle and High, but the building of a dam raised the water level to create a larger body of water. Tarn How’s is accessible to everyone, regardless of age and physical ability due to it’s manageable footpath. The footpath around the tarn is just short of two miles long and offers the most stunning views!

Hill Top was bought by Beatrix Potter in 1906 eventually leaving it to the National Trust on her death in 1943.
