Tarns of Cumbria

Tarn means a small mountain lake. They are usually formed in valleys that were excavated by glaciers. Sometimes natural dams are formed below a tarn by moraines (glacial debris). Tarns in Cumbria range from minute to large enough to pass for a lake. There are hundreds of tarns scattered in Cumbria’s uplands.
