Route Map

It was quite grey and overcast this morning with the odd shower, so we went for a low level walk around a couple of Lake District beauty spots, Little Langdale Tarn and Blea Tarn. They are in close proximity and make a great walk for a day like today.

A short drive from Little Langdale is another tarn with classic views, Blea Tarn. I couldn't resist a visit to check out the great view of the Langdale Pikes.

An absolutely idyllic place for a swim,
