Mockerkin Tarn
According to The Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England by Robert Charles Hope (1893),’ A small town on the left-hand side of the road leading from Cockermouth to Egremont, and near the village of Mockerkin, about four miles from Cockermouth, is said once to have been prosperous, but for some reason the waters submerged it. It is affirmed that at times the roofs and chimneys of the houses may be seen. A stream runs from it, but not into it; the springs in the tarn are probably the source of the supply. It is known as Mockerkin Tarn.
