View of the Langdales from Tarn Hows in the English Lake District
Tarn Hows is an area of the Lake District National Park, containing a picturesque tarn, approximately two miles ( km) northeast of Coniston and about one and a half miles ( km) northwest of Hawkshead. It 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'.
