Tarn Hows is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area with over half a million visitors per year in the 1970s and is managed by the National Trust.
Tarn Hows is fed at its northern end by a series of valley and basin mires and is drained by Tom Gill which cascades down over several small waterfalls to Glen Mary bridge: named by John Ruskin who felt that Tom Gill required a more picturesque name and so gave the area the title 'Glen Mary'.
A beautiful sunny day allowed amazing views towards the northern mountains & fells. From the Tarns, it was then a return walk through the woods back down to the northern tip of Coniston waters & back into Coniston Village.
