Route Description for Black Fell and Tarn Hows Circular Walk
Walking the Black Fell and Tarn Hows Circular is a popular Walk in the Lake District due to the relatively easy-going terrain and breathtaking views, both from the summit of Black Fell and the area surrounding Tarn Hows. Setting out from the village of Skelwith Bridge, you will cross the open countryside to the south and begin climbing uphill, eventually reaching the summit of Black Fell. After enjoying the views, you will descend the hillside and loop around Tarn Hows, enjoying a lovely sightline across the water as you gain elevation along Tom Heights on the return to the village where you began.
