🥾 | Hike, swim and relax on the Stickle Tarn trail.
The Stickle Tarn Trail follows the Stickle Ghyll stream up a steep but well-defined stone path, passing dramatic waterfalls and rock pools along the way. At the top, you'll find Stickle Tarn - a stunning mountain lake nestled beneath the steep rock faces of Pavey Ark and Harrison Stickle, 1,500 feet above the Langdale Valley. Look out for the historic stone dam, built in 1838.
