The first time we visited this tarn was in autumn. We considered it a romantic and picturesque place. Not least as Beatrix Potter and her husband, apparently liked to walk there in the evening. We took the route from the playground in Near Sawrey and walked down to it from the fellside field. We were surprised that it was not more widely publicised as a beautiful place to visit. Now, in May, it was outshined by nearby Wise Een Tarn. Though still worth a visit.

A nice hike from the ferry house Windermere west shore up to New Sawrey then to Moss Eccles tarn a quiet & peaceful place we continued to Claife heights then back for the ferry via Far Sawrey about 10.75 miles. A sunny day so fabulous scenery. Good paths throughout & well sign-posted too. the highlight of the walk was Wise Een tarn a shallow tarn backed by stunning fells.

A beautiful little tarn we found on a walk around Claife Heights coming up from Far Sawrey. Very peaceful and with clear paths to get up here. There a great options for many a circular walk if you are I the area.

Peaceful place, an easy walk from Near or Far Sawrey. Part of the Beatrix Potter heritage in the lake district.
