Tarn Hows, jewel of the Lake District

The word Tarn is another word for a small lake. We have a few of these here in the Lake District and this is perhaps the most beautiful and also hence the most popular. Its easy to get to with ample near parking and even a wheelchair path that goes all around the lake now. For me, its been quite a few years since I last visited but its charms still hold true. Enjoy

Hi Marek, always good to see you here. yes, a very pleasant area but this spot is for 'softies'. The Lake District has some real hiking and dramatic scenery higher up.

Hi Daniela, yes we waited weeks to find two days together when the weather was to be fine and this was the first. Later the next day, the heavens opened again. Our Winter has been much warmer than usual with hardly any snow at all in my part of England.
Best wishes, Herb
