Foxes Tarn is one of the smallest named tarns in the Lake District of England, situated slightly to the east of the summit of Sca Fell. Foxes Tarn is also one of the highest named tarns in the Lake District, with either it or the nearby being the higher. Harry Griffin writing in The Guardian gives the height of Broadcrag Tarn as 2,746 feet (837 m) (N.B. this does not agree well with the latest OS maps).The Nuttall's guide puts Broadcrag Tarn as slightly higher, based on looking at large-scale maps. A higher unnamed tarn on Long Top, the highest of the Crinkle Crags, has an altitude of 2,786 feet (849 m).

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Der Foxes Tarn ist ein See im Lake District, Cumbria, England. Der Foxes Tarn liegt südöstlich des Sca Fell. Der Tarn, der auf einer Höhe von ungefähr 2800 Fuß entsprechend ungefähr 853,44m liegt gilt nach dem Broadcrag Tarn als der zweithöchste See des Lake Districts. Die exakte Höhe des Ortes ist umstritten und es wird auch behauptet, dass es sich genau umgekehrt verhält und Foxes Tarn der höchste See ist. Da die Vermessung auf Luftaufnahmen beruht, ist sie mit einer gewissen Ungenauigkeit behaftet und belastbare Aussage über die exakte Höhe ließen sich nur durch eine Vermessung am Boden erreichen. Die Größe des Sees ist saisonabhängig, der ist aber immer der zweitkleinste namentlich benannte See des Lake Districts. Der sehr kleine Foxes Tarn besitzt keinen erkennbaren Zufluss, aber einen unbenannten Abfluss an seiner Ostseite, der in den How Beck mündet, der wiederum in den River Esk fließt. (de)

A higher unnamed tarn on Long Top, the highest of the Crinkle Crags, has an altitude of 2,786 feet (849 m). The tarn varies in size and has very little outflow, but what little there is descends to and the River Esk. Foxes Tarn is well known to fell-walkers due to its location on one of the standard routes between Scafell Pike and Scafell, the two highest mountains in England. The direct ridge route crosses Broad Stand, which can only be negotiated safely by rock-climbers. Two main alternatives exist for walkers, one being via Lord's Rake, and the other involving a descent to Foxes Tarn before a re-ascent. The tarn is at a significantly lower elevation than Mickledore, the col between the mountains, so while the Foxes Tarn route is easier, it also requires more re-ascent. (en)
