This Stickle tarn is not as well-known, nor as large as its namesake under the Langdale Pikes, however it is an attractive little tarn in a good location. Lying on a shelf on the Dunnerdale side of Stickle Pike, it has a fine view past the outfall to Morecambe Bay. The eastern shore is grassy, whilst the western is lined with a jumble of rocks that have fallen from Stickle Pike above. There is no surface inflow yet the outfall, to the south, is a fairly fast-flowing little beck.
