View of Urswick and Urswick Tarn

Highlight • Lake

I have had a nice hike around here, ideal if you are looking for an easy walk. Please be careful of the very narrow roads and farm vehicles as they can come close. Very enjoyable and a good starting point to travel further if you wish. Parking isn't great so please consider this also.

Urswick Tarn

Highlight • Lake

A pretty tarn in Urswick, Urswick Tarn is a popular spot among locals, especially anglers. The tarn is surrounded by limestone rocks dating back over 300 million years. Because of the unique way in which limestone dissolves, there are many caverns and caves underneath the tarn, making it a wonder that the water stays in the tarn at all.

A tarn is by definition a small mountain lake.

St Mary and St Michael's Church, Great Urswick

Highlight • Religious Site

St Mary and St Michael's Church in Great Urswick is an active Anglican parish chruch, the origins of which go back to before the Norman Conquest.

It is part of a group known as the Low Furness Group of Parishes, along with St Cuthbert's at Aldingham, St Matthew's at Dendron and St Michael's at Rampside.

The building is Grade I-listed and the churchyard houses two further Grade II-listed structures: a sundial dated 1729 and a monument to the Gale family, with dates between 1816 and 1903.
