Hiking
Angle Tarn, just below Angletarn Pikes, is one of the more scenic and popular spots in the Lake District. It has a unique irregular shape that is dotted with small islands and stony bays, making it a popular spot for wild swimming and camping. It has stunning views of the surrounding fells, including High Raise and Helvellyn. It is also very accessible via hiking paths from Patterdale or Hartsop. It is also a photographer's dream sunrise and sunset spot.

Mountaineering
The trail winds around half of Angletarn with splendid views from different angles. I recommend walking this on a clear day as then the color of the water is a blue out of this world with the wind adding sparkling highlights to it. On a overcast day the water will be more greyish.
