Alcock Tarn, Grasmere
A cold and frosty morning at Alcock Tarn on the lower slopes of Heron Pike, Grasmere in the Lake District, Cumbria.
This picturesque tarn nestles in a hollow on the western slopes of Heron Pike. Until the 19th century the tarn was known as Butter Crag Tarn, but it was renamed when a Mr Alcock of The Hollens, Grasmere built a small dam at the southern end and stocked the tarn with brown and rainbow trout. Only the brown trout remain.
