[Codale] Tarn is a small piece of water containing a few trout,
perch, and eels. It sends a small stream down a rocky channel
into Easdale Tarn, which is one of the largest mountain tarns,
seated in the western branch of Grasmere vale among rocky
precipices, of which Blakerigg, or Blea Crag, is the principal.
Its stream - from its frothy whiteness called Sour-milk Gill - is
a striking object from the road.

foot of the latter.- Angle Tarn, lying north of the last, upon
the mountain separating Patterdale from Martindale, is one of the
smaller class; but of a curious shape, having two rocky islets
and a small broken peninsula. Its stream in a quick descent,
reaches the vale about half a mile further down.- Grisedale Tarn,
one of the larger class, lies in the junction of the three
mountains Helvellyn, Seatsandal, and Fairfield. The road over the
Hause, from Grasmere to Patterdale, passing the tarn, is
accompanied by its stream down the vale of Grisedale, which
unites with the parent valley near the Church.- Red Tarn, also of
considerable extent, containing about twenty acres, is upon the
