Black Moss Pot

Black Moss Pot is a dramatic deep-water pool and rock gorge in the Langstrath Valley, famed for its deep emerald waters and popular "wild" swimming jumps.

To reach it from Stonethwaite campsite, expect a rough, potholed, and narrow drive to the farm where all-day parking is available for £5 (cash only). From here, it is a relatively flat 2-mile walk following the beck upstream. Alternatively, you can park for free in Stonethwaite village near the phone box, though spaces are extremely limited and fill up by early morning; this adds roughly an extra half-mile of walking through the picturesque hamlet and past the Langstrath Country Inn.
