highest level of any of the mountain tarns; being upwards of two
thousand three hundred feet above the level of the sea, and about
seven hundred feet below the summit of Helvellyn; from whence
into it you might almost cast a stone.- Keppel Cove Tarn is
posited in a singular manner, not in the bottom of the glen, but,
in a kind of recess formed on one side; it is separated from Red
Tarn by a narrow mountain ridge, called Swirrel Edge, which
branches off from Helvellyn and is terminated by a peak called
Catsty Cam, modernized into Catchedecam; below which the two
streams unite to form the brook of Glenridding. All these tarns
afford good diversion for the angler; Keppel Cove produces a
bright well shapen trout:- those of Angle tarn are by some
considered of superior flavour; but when quantity as well as
quality is taken into account, Hays Water may perhaps be allowed
the pre-eminence.

Small Water, rightly named, lies between Harter fell and High
Street; and is passed by a mountain track leading from Kentmere
to Mardale, over the hause called Nan Bield.- Blea Water,
separated from the last by a projection of High Street, lies at
the foot of a lofty rock called Blea Water Crag. Before reaching
the valley of Mardale, their two streams become united.
