One of the most popular walks from Grasmere and a great introduction to fell walking - you achieve a real sense of being in the mountains, whilst still only being around 300m in height. Easedale Tarn backed by Tarn Crag is a wonderful place to stop, linger and admire the surrounding views. Grasmere is left via Easedale Road and then a steep path is followed by the waterfall up the side of Sourmilk Gill to reach Easedale Tarn. After crossing Sourmilk Gill, the return to Grasmere is via Far Easedale Gill.
