Harrop Tarn
|
|
|
Harrop Tarn, though but a small piece of water, is the principal
one belonging to Thirlmere. It lies on the western side of
Wythburn, and its stream, called Dob Gill, passing a few houses,
joins the rivulet in the vale a little before it reaches the
lake.

Scales Tarn

|
Scales Tarn, on the east end of the mountain Saddleback, is an
oval piece of water covering an area of three acres and a half,
its two diameters being 176 and 124 yards, its depth 18 feet; and
uninhabited by the finny tribe. Some very exaggerated
descriptions of this tarn have found their way into the history
of Cumberland and other publications. From its gloomy appearance,
occasioned by being overshadowed by steep rocks, its depth was
supposed to be very great, and it has been represented as the
crater of an extinct volcano; an assumption not supported by
present appearances. Its stream, nearly encompassing Souterfell,
is called the Glenderamakin, which, passing Threlkeld, joins that
from Thirlmere to form the Greta.
