Loughrigg Tarn

The Loughrigg Tarn is a lake in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. The lake is east of Elterwater and south of Loughrigg Fell.

The lake has very little inflows and no outlet.

The lake was a long time Baron George Howland Beaumont. The Lake poet William Wordsworth bought with the money of subsequent resale of the lake yew trees that were planted in the churchyard of Grasmere to embellish this after the establishment of an iron fence. Wordsworth has the lake, which is approximately circular, in his Epistle To Sir George Howland Beaumont, Bart. From the South - West Coast of Cumberland compared with the Lake Nemi in Italy and so described him as a mirror of Diana, the goddess of that lake.
