Tarn Hows
Tarn Hows is in The Lake District National Park in England.
One of the most photogenic and most photographed places in the Lake District. Tarn Hows is a relatively small lake, managed by the National Trust, with an easy walking path and visitor car park but many walks up around the higher fells are nearby.
An easy stroll from the car park, Tarn Hows can be very busy at times. The area is good for dog walks but there are sometimes cattle towards the north side of the lake.
