Tarn Hows



"Calm & tranquil"

If ever there was a competition for the most popular Lakeland beauty spot Tarn Hows would probably be the winner.

It is easy to see why, and this pretty tarn, enclosed by low and craggy hills, and surrounded by mixed woodland, meadow and scrub, encapsulates all that is so attractive about the Lakes.

Today, with its car-free village centre, it's the perfect place for the visitor to experience the 'real' Lake District.

The cobbled streets, squares and courtyards and the beautiful whitewashed cottages, topped with local Lakeland slate, give this little place a magical feel.
