Two or three pools, between the hills on the north of Coniston
Waterhead, are called simply the Tarns; while those in the
western quarter have received the more dignified appellation of
Waters.- Levers Water, the largest, is situated in a wide valley,
between the mountains Old Man and Wetherlam.- Low Water, placed
on the Old Man's side, belies its name, as it occupies the
highest level. Their united streams, after a succession of pretty
waterfalls, pass Coniston Church in their way to the lake.- Gates
Water, (Goats Water) reposes between the Old Man's western side,
and the foot of the precipitous Dow Crag; (Dove Crag.) Besides
being in common with the other tarns stocked with trout, it also
contains some char. Its stream forms the rivulet of Torver.-
Blind Tarn, a small reservoir of water without a stream, lies
near the road to Seathwaite, by Walna Scar.- Beacon Tarn is a
small one, near the foot of the lake.

Kentmere Tarn, in the vale of Kentmere, bordered by morass, and
Skeggles Water on the heath-clad mountain between that and
Long-Sleddale, are neither of them possessed of any striking
features.
