'''Priests Pot''' is a small tarn at the northern end of [[Esthwaite Water]], a short distance south-east of [[Hawkshead]]. It was once part of the larger lake formation of Esthwaite before is was cut off by alluvial deposits from [[Black Beck]], and other natural processes (see formation). This ultimately kick-started the development of the reed fern carr (wetland area) that now completely surrounds this tarn.<ref name="blair42">{{blair-2003|42}}</ref> CreatedThe bytarn naturalis processesestimated afterto thebe icearound had4 excavatedmetres the(13 basinsfeet) of the lakedeep, thislying unassumingat tarnan is protected by the encompassing Esthwaite Water Siteelevation of Special66 Scientific Interestmetres (1987)216 and Ramsar (1991feet) status.

Created by natural processes after the ice had excavated the basins of the lake, this unassuming tarn is protected by the encompassing Esthwaite Water Site of Special Scientific Interest (1987) and Ramsar (1991) status. It is adjacent to the North Fen National Nature Reserve. [[Out Dubs Tarn]] is a similar body of water at the southern end of the lake.
The tarn is estimated to be around 4 metres (13 feet) deep, lying at an elevation of 66 metres (216 feet).
