Pavey Ark is a dramatic limestone cliff above Stickle Tarn in Great Langdale — prime for sweeping landscape frames, cliff silhouettes, cloud inversions and reflections in the tarn. Visit at sunrise or sunset for warm side-light on the crags and long shadows; misty mornings create mood. Access requires a steep 1–2 hour hike from the Stickle Tarn/Skelwith Bridge car parks (limited spaces; National Trust parking nearby). No entry fee. Weather changes fast—dress for wind and rain. Best in spring–aut
