Alcock Tarn, Grasmere
A cold and frosty morning at Alcock Tarn, 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.
Butter Crag and Great Rigg can be seen behind the tarn.
