The views were very beautiful. We went on an evening and it made for a great easy short walk to unwind at the end of the day. There is a full gravel path leading all the way around the lake and a viewpoint part way through plus access to a waterfall. The gravel path sometimes strays from the lake however there are other less used tracks you can follow for further access towards the water.

At it's best when the trees are in full Autumnal colours. It used to be one of the most picturesque spots in the Lake District but has now been spoiled by becoming too touristy. There is a single track road with the odd passing place. We were almost run off the road by a descending transit van, then a jaguar 4x4 and a lambourghini; none of whom thought anyone else had any entitlement to be on the road.

An amazing lake to walk around. It is stunningly beautiful with amazing views. In my opinion, it is the prettiest lake in the Lake District. Parking is free for blue badge holders and access is surprisingly good - it is a single track road but with plenty of passing places.

This is an easy circular path around a tranquil body of water, close to the village of Hawkshead. We found parking at the National Trust managed paid parking lot by the tarn. The machine only takes coins (£5 charge), but the local NT representative was kind enough to change notes for us. As you walk the path, remember to go through one the gates to a signposted viewpoint for some wonderful panoramas – only a short climb up. Tarn Hows was a favourite spot of the author Beatrix Potter and and it’s easy to imagine why.

This is a circular 2 miles walk through beautiful countryside with majestic mountain views. There is a very accessible walk on a good, flat path which took us around 1 hour at leisurely pace with our pushchair. The walk starts from Tarn Hows Car Park; parking is £5 for 2 hours or free for National Trust Members. There is more information on this walk on the National Trust website. The path goes up and down a lot, quite steeply in places. We were fine with our heavy duty pram, but a wheelchair user would definitely struggle. Although the paths are very good they are made from lots of very small stones / shale, so quite bumpy. There were a few areas that were very steep and bumpy, but mostly like the few photos I've attached, to show the ups and downs of the path. We weren't that impressed by the views, certainly not like many of the photos on here! but it was an overcast day when we visited. We have been struggling to find walks we can do with the pram as 14 month old is getting too heavy to carry all day and this walk is ideal for anyone in same situation. We will return again another year when in the area, and hope for better weather next time!

A wonderful place for a gentle stroll around a beautiful Lakeland piece of water. Fairly flat and solid under foot. Good car park operated by National Trust. Highly recommended on a fine day

National Trust run Small busy carpark with clean toilets and picnic tables. Lovely walk around tarn approx 60 mins walk. Only negatives over flowing bins at carpark and dogs running off leads on walk even though signs say dogs on leads only!

A beautiful tarn to visit. The route around the water is stone chipped and easy to navigate for walkers and mobility scooters alike. There are many alternative routes if you wish for a more challenging adventure. The carpark/mobility scooter attendant was most helpful and directed us to a one-way route to leave. Tip: Arrive early or late afternoon. We arrived at 9. By 10 there were few car spaces left.
