Great facilities. Lovely walks. Beautiful outlook.
Café was very busy, so would think it would be nice.

Absolutely love Talkin Tarn Park. we enjoyed a lovely latte in the friendly càfe. Shame the bigger cafe isn't open anymore. More indoor seating and space would be better.

It is a fabulous place to walk and enjoy the tranquillity of nature.
On-site car park, charging is between 10:00-18:00, £1.20 for an hour and £2.40 for all day. You can pay by cash, or app. There is a cafe and toilets open from 10:00-16:00. Accessible parking is free for 3 hours behind the cafe, entrance at the bottom of the car park. There's an accessible toilet that requires a Radar key.
There are plenty of options for walking/running, including an accessible route around the Tarn. It's popular for dog walking. Numerous benches are located around the Tarn for you to absorb the sights and sounds. A lot of activities are organised here throughout the year from water sports to park run, astronomy to orienteering with numerous others at the education centre. There's a bird hide and a few sculptures to explore, too.

We go to Talkin Tarn every autumn/winter ( no midges) for a walk around the lake . It's an easy well laid path ( approx 20 mins to just walk round , but who does that ?) , with light forestry and plenty of wildlife . A lovely little cafe for your refreshments , boating available if that's your thing . All in all, excellent stroll after a big lunch or walking the pooch or the little one's, or to just get out the house for an hr .

Well worth a visit. Nice short walk around the lake. Good coffee afterwards. Good little playground for young children.

A really good place to visit and get some fresh air and lovely views. Dog friendly and a great café.
Open all year around and even on Christmas Day people come out with their dogs and get a breather from the mayhem of the festive season.

If you want a lovely circular walk in beautiful surroundings with loads of wildlife such as birds, squirrels, deer and swans this is the place. It is a level walk which is wheelchair accessible and has an excellent tearoom, childrens play park and public toilets.

Great walk around the lake. Plenty of seats along the way if you want to rest. Large carpark , pay by cash or contactless. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Followed part of the trail through the woods, which is a pleasant alternative to a walk around the lake.
However, on returning back to the car park, I noticed the lack of bins. As this is a busy place, I only found a couple of bins by the middle pay machines, nothing near the disabled parking bays.

You have to pay for the car park. There is a nice walk around the tarn on reasonably good paths. There is a toilet and a nice café.
