A frosty morning at Talkin Tarn

Talkin Tarn Country Park

 

The name Talkin comes from the Celtic name 'Talcan' which means brow of a hill. Tarn or 'Tjorn' is Norse for small teardrop lake.

 

Talkin Tarn was formed by the force of glaciers 10,000 years ago. The ice carved the landscape leaving the natural bowl which filled with water as the glaciers melted.

 

The tarn is constantly topped up by natural freshwater springs which bubble up from below
