Nestling beneath the northern face of The Old Man, and cradled between it and Raven's Tor, is Low Water. This corrie tarn has been dammed in the past to provide water for the quarries, but all of its water now issues via a fine cascade of falls into the Coppermines Valley.
A detailed survey on 24 May 2018 measured the height of the highest visible natural ground of the Old Man to be 802.42m. The height of the ground on the summit plinth (man-made ground) is 803.53m.
The same survey also measured the height of nearby Swirl How, and measured it to be also 802.42m.
