These come in all shapes and sizes as discussed on [[Tarns of the Lake District]]. Some are quite large, others nothing more than mere pools, glistening in tranquil ripples on a gentle breeze. On the southern fells of Buttermere there are three main tarns:
*[[Bleaberry Tarn]], an oval-shaped [[Tarns of the Lake District#Cirque tarns|cirque tarn]] with complex features and several basins. At an elevation of 497 metres, it is already a hefty climb to reach, but it looks particularly impressive from the summit of High Stile with its familiar, but not entirely distinct cirque shape, and dark blue waters.
*[[Innominate Tarn]], also known as Loaf Tarn, is one of a multitude of small bodies of water on the heights by Haystacks, the result of [[LakesTarns of the Lake District#Areally scoured tarns|areal scouring]] leaving numerous depressions, some of them no more than a metre deep.
*[[Blackbeck Tarn]] is pear-shaped and the largest of the tarns around the summit area of Haystacks.
