Education at Talkin Tarn

 A permanent orienteering course and numeracy trail are available for self led activities. The park is an ideal location to bring your class for a day of environmental education activities. Equipment can be borrowed from the site office and the staff will be happy to help give you some ideas for activities.

Log CabinEducation Cabin.

This is where our education programmes, both for children and adults take place.

The Cabin is available to hire for example for meetings and training sessions. Contact the site office for prices. The building is fully accessible and includes two disabled toilets and a hearing loop system.

This building has many energy saving features which include, an air source heat pump which provides hot water for taps and the under floor heating system. Sheep's fleece insulation, intelligent lighting, which only comes on when needed and rainwater harvesting from the roof for flushing the toilets.

Wildlife Conservation.

A new bird and squirrel feeding area has been created and an old pond has been restored so that children can learn more about our native wildlife.
