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.

How to get there

Reached on foot from the Newby Bridge side (1.6 km as the crow flies). Use mapped public paths on the terrain map. Hill tarns can be pathless at the last — do not assume a way around the shore.
