Sunbiggin Tarn

Highlight • Natural Monument

This tarn and, in fact, the surrounding area, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI): this is largely because of the limestone areas that surround it. The tarn is a marl lake, with lots of ferns around it. A beautiful place with a rugged feel to the area.

Great Asby Scar Limestone Pavement

Highlight • Natural Monument

The vast limestone pavement of Great Asby Scar is like the surface of another planet. However, one look west – towards the mountainous ridgeline of Lakeland's Far Eastern Fells and the green of the Shap Fells – and you know you're in Cumbria. This unique landscape is a designated nature reserve and home to various rare species of ferns. It makes for an intriguing place to roam.
