Loughrigg Tarn - Lake District
This is a tarn of outstanding beauty - being almost circular in form, with striking views north-west towards the Langdale Pikes. The surface of the tarn is carpeted with waterlilies in the summer months. The tarn was a favoured spot of the poet Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy, he described it in his little known 'Epistle to George Howland Beaumont' , written in 1811, as 'round, clear and bright as heaven'.
