Alcock Tarn
Alcock Tarn is a lake in Westmorland and Furness, Cumbria, England. It is located high in the fells on Heron Pike, roughly a mile and a half east of Grasmere. Alcock Tarn was originally known as Butter Crags Tarn and was enlarged by means of a stone and earth dam in the 19th century to a depth of about 6 ft (1.8 m). The owner, a Mr Alcock of Grasmere, then stocked it with brown trout.

Heron Pike
Heron Pike is a fell in the English Lake District, two kilometres east of Grasmere. It is part of the Fairfield group in the Eastern Fells. It should not be confused with the Heron Pike that forms part of Sheffield Pike, although it appears that, by coincidence, both Heron Pikes are exactly the same height.

Dockey Tarn
Dockey Tarn is a small lake in Westmorland and Furness district, Cumbria, England. It is located at a height of 379.3 m (1,244 ft), on the west slope below the ridge from Nab Scar to Heron Pike, about 700 m (2,300 ft) south-east of Alcock Tarn, and about 2 km (1.2 mi) east of Grasmere. It has been said to be one of the smallest tarns in the Lake District which is named on Ordnance Survey maps; it does not appear on their maps at 1:50,000 scale but is marked and named on their 1:25,000 maps.
A visitor in 2018 reported that the tarn had at that time dried up completely.
The name of the tarn appeared in a 1749 document spelled "Dockrey Tarn", and is believed to derive from the local family surname Dockray.
