From the Wikipedia article
Angle Tarn is a tarn in Cumbria, England, within the Lake District National Park, about a mile north-east of Hartsop. Located at an altitude of 479 m (1,572 ft), the lake has an area of 5.9 hectares (15 acres), measures 385 by 260 m (1,263 by 853 ft), with a maximum depth of 9 m (30 ft). The lake is very distinctive in that it resembles a fish hook in shape. It contains two rocky islets and a small broken peninsula. It is located on the Angletarn Pikes, which are named after it. This should not be confused with Angle Tarn (Langstrath), a smaller lake with the same name about 18.5 km to the northeast near Bowfell, also within the Lake District National Park. Angle Tarn is a popular spot for overnight wild camping, especially on weekends and in the summer months. The tarn has been described by Alfred Wainwright as among the best of Lakeland tarns.
