Tarns is a small farming settlement in the civil parish of Holme St. Cuthbert in Cumbria, United Kingdom. It is located two miles north-east of the village of Mawbray, and twenty-three miles south-west of Carlisle, Cumbria's county town. The B5301 road runs through the settlement, and along that road the town of Silloth-on-Solway is located five-and-a-half miles to the north, and Aspatria four-and-a-half miles to the south-east. Other nearby settlements include Aikshaw, Goodyhills, Jericho, and New Cowper.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.google.it/maps/@54.8157776,-3.375338,16z )〕 ==History and etymology== The name Tarns comes from the Old Norse "tiorn", meaning a lake, and "tarn" is a word commonly used in northern England for a lake or pond. Such a lake is present at Tarns, giving the settlement its name. In the past, the name has been spelled as Ternis, Terns, and Tarnes. Tarns is a small settlement, and, in spite of appearing on local signposts,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/36034969@N08/6806789117/in/set-72157624054878464 )〕 including on the B5300 coast road,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/36034969@N08/4699485298/in/set-72157624054878464 )〕 it is not named on some contemporary mapping projects like Google Maps. However, it does appear in the historical record, with records of births and deaths dating from at least the early 19th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://graham.dunmore.org/individual.php?pid=I5877&ged=graham )〕 It is also noted on historical documents from the time of Holme Cultram Abbey's operation prior to the dissolution of the monasteries, where a farm owned by the abbey was operating at Tarns in or around 1200 AD.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/ENG-CUL-CARLISLE/2004-11/1101440143 )〕 The tarn for which the settlement is named has a surface area of 21 acres (8.5 hectares), and a perimeter of three-quarters of a mile (1.1 km).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlakes.info/28651-tarns-dub-cumbria )〕
