Low Dam is situated just beneath the much larger and more famous High Dam, the main source of water power for Stott Park Bobbin Mill situated further down the hill. It is easily reached from a footpath just to the north of Finsthwaite’s St. Peter’s church, or from the National Trust car park situated nearer the bobbin mill. Whilst the tarn can be popular with walkers, it tends to be far quieter here than on the hills of the central Lakes.
