トーキン・ターンでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The name "Talkin" comes from the Celtic word for "brow of a hill." Talkin Tarn is a 65-acre glacial lake.

The tearooms serve a variety of hot and cold food and also have a takeaway service. English Lakes ice cream is also available.

The tearooms offer beautiful views over the tarn and towards the Pennine hills. There is an upstairs area with sofas for enjoying the view, especially on rainy days.

It is managed by Northern Trains and is unstaffed. The station has two platforms and a ticket machine that only accepts card payments.

Talking Tarn is a popular attraction. There is a large car park but you do have to pay to enter. Walkways and double track exist around the waters edge. Many ducks, swans and other birds can be seen on the water and waters edge. It is an idyllic location

Talkin Tarn is a glacial lake set within Talkin Tarn Country Park. The lake is in a kettle hole, formed 10,000 years ago by mass glacial action.

I missed the cairns on my first visit, so keep an eye on the map to ensure you reach the summit cairns and appreciate the best view in the area :)

Talkin Fell summit has a series of interesting cairns and a heart shaped windbreak as well as a trig point. It's not a huge fell at 381m but offers great views north and east.
