“Ever since it first became fashionable to make excursions to behold the scenic wonders of the English Lake District Easdale Tarn has been a popular venue for visitors”

“A romantic setting, inurned in bracken clad moraines with a background of craggy fells, and easily accessible from Grasmere”

A Wainwright

From Grasmere we will follow the track across the fields by Brimmer Head Farm and climb alongside the waterfalls of Sour Milk Gill, after exploring the pools and the magnificent views as we climb by the waterfalls we will emerge onto the shore of Easdale Tarn.

Easdale Tarn is one of the more scenic in the Lake District, a secluded setting surrounded by rocky fells.

After a short walk around the tarn and even a paddle for the brave we will descend north, across the lower slopes of Tarn Crag to descend into the Far Easdale Valley, a quiet valley, far less trodden than much of the area around Grasmere, we will follow the beck back along the valley and descend to Easdale Road and Grasmere.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.

We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.

Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
- A more suitable walk on the same date taking into consideration the weather conditions
- A transfer to the same walk on another date
- A full refund

Question:

Are dogs allowed on this walk?

Answers:

Posted by John Scadding on Wednesday, 20 September 2017

Yes, dogs are allowed on all our walks.

However we do cross farmland and common land where animals will be grazing, there will be large sections of the walk, if not all, where dogs will be required to be on a lead.
