Locator, not a GPX track. The sketch marks this water. How-to-get-there names the usual village, car park or bus — then use the terrain map for real public paths. Gorges and hill tarns need proper footwear and an OS map.

Guide

Little Langdale’s postcard tarn, with the Langdale Pikes stacked behind.

How to get there

Blea Tarn car park on the steep road between Great Langdale and Little Langdale. A few minutes to the shore. The road is narrow and unsuitable for large vehicles. Buses serve Langdale; the walk over from the Old Dungeon Ghyll is longer.

Nearest directory town: Chapel Stile. Parking, buses and path closures change — check locally before you travel.
