Bowscale Tarn Off-Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Starts steady, propped ramps up at the end. This tarn is said to have two magical fish that can speak according to William Wordsworth.

Tip by

2.63 km

Bowscale Tarn is a body of water that sits to the north of Bowscale Fell. It is most commonly hiked from the village of Mosedale. As it's surrounded by crags it really does have a feeling of grandeur and isolation.
