Description: Nestled between The Knott and Gray Crag lies Hayeswater tarn. The tarn is set high up in the eastern fells at 425 m above sea level and about a 1.6 km south east of the hamlet of Hartsop in the Patterdale Valley.
Hayeswater is a 34 acre tarn which was dammed in 1908 to supply water to the Cumbrian town of Penrith. It hasn't been used as a reservoir since 2005 and in the summer of 2014 United Utilities removed the dam wall to return the tarn to its natural state. The water level dropped by about 2 metres after the removal of the wall and the exposed bank will take a few years to acclimatise. Please take care at the south east end where the exposed bank is very muddy. |
