==List of tarns==
Looking at the broader picture, there are over 1826 tarns and small lakes throughout the county of Cumbria,<ref name="smith-12">Smith, p.12</ref> many more than could ever be listed here. Some of these are cirque tarns, immediately identifiable from their distinctive form, but generally the tarns throughout Cumbria, and more so Lakeland, have dramatically varying character, form, and function. Extensive research has shown that of this vast number, there are 364 tarns believed to be artificial: mining features, quarry ponds, reservoirs,<ref name="smith-12"/> many now disused and left to nature. Whatever your thoughts on the subject, many are, indeed, special places to explore on foot.
