Angle Tarn is a tarn in Cumbria, England, within the Lake District National Park, about a mile north-east of Hartsop. Located at an altitude of 479m (1,572feet), the lake has an area of 5.9ha, measures 385by, with a maximum depth of 9m (30feet).[1] The lake is very distinctive in that it resembles a fish hook in shape. It contains two rocky islets and a small broken peninsula.[2] It is located on the Angletarn Pikes, which are named after it.
This should not be confused with Angle Tarn (Langstrath), a smaller lake with the same name about 18.5 km to the northeast near Bowfell, also within the Lake District National Park.
Angle Tarn is a popular spot for overnight wild camping, especially on weekends and in the summer months.[3] The tarn has been described by Alfred Wainwright as among the best of Lakeland tarns.[4]
