Angle Tarn (Patterdale)

Angle Tarn is a lake in Cumbria, England, within the Lake District National Park, about a mile north-east of Hartsop. Located at an altitude of 479 m (1,572 ft), the lake has an area of 5.9 hectares (15 acres), measures 385 by 260 m (1,263 by 853 ft), with a maximum depth of 9 m (30 ft).[1] The lake is very distinctive in that it resembles a fish hook in shape. It contains ‘two rocky islets and a small broken peninsula’.[2]

This should not be confused with Angle Tarn (Langstrath), a smaller lake with the same name about 18.5 km to the north-east near Bowfell, also within the Lake District National Park.
