What is recorded here
Turkeytarn Hill rises to approximately 305 metres (1,000 feet) and is part of the rugged landscape of the Lake District, situated within the historic county of Westmorland. Its name, derived from the Old Norse *tjúgge* (meaning "thicket") and *tarn* (a mountain pool or lake), reflects the region's Norse heritage and the presence of upland tarns in its vicinity. The hill contributes to the ecological and scenic character of the area, typical of the Lakeland fells.
