Talkin Tarn Country Park

Talkin Tarn Country Park is a 120 acre park situated 9 miles east of Carlisle and 2 miles south of Brampton. The centrepiece is Talkin Tarn, a glacial lake formed around 10,000 years ago. The park is a popular recreational spot and offers sailing, windsurfing, camping, fishing and a children’s play area. A footpath, suitable for pushchairs, follows the water’s edge. The Boathouse Tea Room offers great views of the tarn and serves hot food and drinks.

The walk around the Tarn is not just pleasant, but can be good for wildlife, birds in particular. There are plenty of benches to sit, with or without picnic and/or binoculars.

Talkin Tarn is beautiful. It's an hour's easy stroll around the tarn. The walk is flat with plenty of resting spots (seats).

Talkin Tarn is a beautiful place. I have been going there for many years. If you have a day to yourself I would check this place out and take a walk around the beautiful lake.

Every summer the Talkin Tarn Amateur Rowing Club hold their annual regatta here. The club was formed in 1859 and is one of the oldest rowing clubs in the UK.
