Local legend tells that a village, overwhelmed by a catastrophic flood, lies deep beneath the waters of Talkin Tarn. At the dead of night, on midsummer's day you might hear the ghostly ring of the school bell calling children to their lessons! The name Talkin is derived from the Celtic "Talcan" meaning brow of a hill. The word "Tarn" is Norse in origin, "Tjorn" meaning tear drop or small lake.
