A few miles outside Brampton is Talkin Tarn Country Park. It covers 120 acres of farmland and woodland, 65 of which make up the Tarn, a 10,000 year old glacial lake, fed by underwater springs. Two miles away is Gelt Woods, which is an ancient woodland and rspb nature reserve and has the River Gelt running through it. Brampton is a wonderful base for exploring this historic and scenic area.
