High Dam. A lovely little tarn which makes a great background for portrait photos in the late afternoon sun. The dam at the southern end was built to power Stott Park Bobbin Mill a short distance away. The Bobbin Mill is now a museum with Victorian machinery which still works. At just under two miles this is a nice short walk with a steep start (there is also a gentler route) and your dog will love it. There is a pay and display car park which can be found between Finsthwaite and Stott Park Bobbin Mill. Alternatively, you can walk from Lakeside which is accessible by Windermere Lake Cruises from Ambleside or Bowness or even by steam train from Haverthwaite.
