Easedale Tarn

Easedale Tarn, which is situated north west and approximately two miles from the village of Grasmere in The Lakes, is easily reached by walking along Easedale road, past some youth hostels and then following the course of Sour Milk Gill. This is a very popular area in summer.

William Wordsworth, the writer and poet who lived at Dove Cottage in Grasmere, wrote the poem "Who weeps for strangers" after the deaths of George and Sarah Green. They died one night while attempting to descend from the mountains above Langdale head into Easedale during a snow storm. One of their six children were taken in by the Wordsworth family. Also, Thomas De Quincey, a friend of Wordsworth and author of "Confessions of an English Opium Eater", described this sad story in a book called Beauties.
