Tarns Dub is a small, shallow body of water on the Solway Coast between Allonby and Mawbray, surrounded by dune vegetation and grassland. Its name, derived from a "tarn" (mountain lake) and "dub" (pond), reflects the local dialect. Ecologically, it serves as a watering hole for livestock and a habitat for amphibians and waterfowl. Scenically, it forms a resting point along the coastal route, with views of the Irish Sea and the hills of southern Scotland. Although modest in size, Tarns Dub contributes to the mosaic of wet and dry habitats that characterizes this part of the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
