Spring At Tom Ghyll, Tarn Hows, High Arnside & Oxen Fell.



 
The path up Tom Ghyll from Glen Mary car park near Coniston, offers so many possibilities. Cross the stream over the fallen tree, through the gate and into a world of adventure....

Early morning at Tarn Hows, the best time to be there.

The National Trust have recently been removing some of the trees that were growing up along the shoreline. This has opened up the views again. Other trees have been planted in the area around the tarn, so no overall loss in numbers.

Before the Sunday rush and before the summer invasion. Tarn Hows, quiet and still, a perfect place to be on a bright spring morning.

Just to the north of Tarn Hows lies High Arnside Tarn. Built as a small reservoir it is now a private fishing lake for a local Angling Club. Permits available at Tourist Information Offices.

Out towards High Oxen Fell and the views look North, to the Fairfield range of mountains beyond Ambleside.
