On Rusland Heights The low fells dividing Windermere and the Rusland Valley are a rough wet tangle of woodland, heather, bracken, small colourful crags and little Tarns. The area is now mostly Access Land and ripe for exploration on days when strong winds would blow you over on the higher fells.

Green Hows Upper Tarn Fierce painful gusts of hail greeted my arrival at the tarn. Referred to by Heaton Cooper as High Tarn, built for fishing by the Sandys family of Greythwaite Hall. He refers to the boathouse in shot on the far bank as having two berths.
