点评:We drove along narrow, windy, lanes enveloped by hedges to Tarn Hows, the picturesque beauty spot not far from Coniston which Beatrix Potter bought and donated to the NT. It is an extremely beautiful mountain lake, surrounded by wooded slopes and offering picture postcard views. It is almost completely quiet and serene , with only intermittent birdsong. As we all know, a “tarn” is a mountain lake, usually of glacial origin. In fact, what we see today was created by wealthy Victorian landowner, James Garth Marshall in the 1860s, merging three smaller tarns into the present highly photogenic one. The NT has ensured that its 3.2 km circuit is accessible. The whole tour (about one hour) provides many stunning viewpoints. There is a refreshment bar at the carpark.
翻译:我们沿着被树篱环绕的狭窄蜿蜒小道驾车前行,最终抵达了塔恩豪斯。这是一个风景如画的名胜地,离康尼斯顿不远;碧翠丝·波特曾买下此地并捐赠给英国国家信托基金会。这是一个极为美丽的高山湖泊,四周是林木茂密的山坡,景色宛如明信片般迷人。这里几乎万籁俱寂、宁静祥和,只有断断续续的鸟鸣声。众所周知,“tarn”指的是高山湖泊,通常形成于冰川作用。事实上。我们今天所看到的这个湖泊,是维多利亚时期的富有的地主詹姆斯·加思·马歇尔在19世纪60年代亲手创造的。他将三个较小的湖泊合并成了如今这个极具摄影价值的湖泊。北领地政府也确保了3.2公里长的环湖步道对游客开放。整个游览过程大约需要一小时,沿途可欣赏到众多绝美的景观。停车场处还设有一家饮料售货亭。
