54.504269, -3.2340202~ ~[[File:Blackbeck Tarn - geograph.org.uk - 1258756.jpg|300px]]<br><br>'''[[Blackbeck Tarn]]''' is a summit tarn perched on the ridge of [[Haystacks]]. It is the largest in a group of tarns scattered across this spine of rock, which broadens here considerably, offering some of the finest views in all of Lakeland. Its neighbours include [[Innominate Tarn]], [[Haystacks Tarn]] (also known as Summit Tarn), and several unnamed bodies of water of various sizes not much bigger than small pools. Sitting at a fairly lofty elevation of 487 metres (1,598 feet), this elongated, pear-shaped tarn is nestled in a hollow that was gouged out by ice action of the {{w1|Last Glacial Period}} by a process called {{areal|areal scouring}}.~;
54.517364,-3.0962722~ ~[[File:Blea Tarn - geograph.org.uk - 2012131.jpg|300px]]<br><br>'''[[Blea Tarn (Watendlath)|Blea Tarn]]''' is a small valley lake, along with others such as [[Little Langdale Tarn]], [[Loughrigg Tarn]], and one its neighbours, [[Watendalath Tarn]]. These types of tarns, eight in total, were formed similiarly to the 17 big lakes of Lakeland. The tarn sits in a pleasant hollow, albeit somewhat empty-looking, surrounded by gentle slopes of coarse grassland, in a higher section of the valley around 215m above that of its lower neighbour. To the south-west are the crags of [[Coldbarrow Fell]], which do not overshadow the water, giving a sense of an open lansdscape with little to see, especially at water level. However, the emptyness of the landscape does not detract from its natural beauty.~;
54.527329,-3.2902503~ ~[[File:Bleaberry Tarn from Red Pike (7281733052).jpg|300px]]<br><br>'''[[Bleaberry Tarn]]''' is a classic [[Tarns of the Lake District#Cirque tarns|cirque tarn]] in the mid reaches of this hanging valley of the Buttermere Fells, above but concealed from [[Buttermere]]. It sits at an elevation of 497 metres (1,630 feet), and has a maximum depth of 5.8 metres (19 feet), flanked by [[Dodd]] (641m), [[Red Pike]] (755m), and [[High Stile]] (806m), forming a circular ridge around an expansive basin. From the peaks above the tarn looks quite small in its surroundings, but no less stunning, especially set against the backdrop of [[Crummock Water]], [[Mellbreak]] and [[Grasmoor]].~;
