Farlam Boathouse
A frosty morning at Talkin Tarn
Talkin Tarn Country Park
The boathouse was built by Joseph Bell of Farlam in 1843 and ownership passed through his son John to his grandson Joseph bell, the chief engineer of RMS Titanic!
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
