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.~;

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]].~;
