Hiking

The most spectacular angles for photographing Low Water are from above: it can be seen from the ridge between Brim Fell Rake and the Old Man, but also from the steep, rugged path between the Old Man and the village of Coniston. The shores of the Tarn can also be reached via this latter path.

Hiking

The views of Low Water Tarn from here are spectacular. Low Water is a high corrie tarn situated directly underneath the imposing north face of Coniston Old Man. The walk up Coniston is one of the most popular walks in the Lake District, and this tarn reflects this popularity for wild swimming, being a super gorgeous place to swim!
