Elter Water forms part of the boundary between the historic counties of Lancashire and Westmorland, and is the northernmost point of the former.

Loughrigg Tarn () is a small, natural lake in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. It is situated north of Windermere, just north of the village of Skelwith Bridge, and at the foot of Loughrigg Fell. "Loughrigg Tarn" is a bit of a tautology, since "loughrigg" means "ridge of the lough (lake)" and "tarn" is also the name of a body of water.
