Could somebody from Wales clarify Tarren please?

[David Price]

Taren/Tarren and Daren/Darren occur frequently in the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons. They are rocky outcrops/low cliffs like the 'scars' in Yorkshire/northern England. If you investigate the Llanthony Valley on streetmap.co.uk (which gives you 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 scale maps) you'll see a few features marked Taren. Ley's "first Taren" is close to Cwmyoy. The "second Taren" is on the western side of the top of the valley. Although the Llanthony Valley is in vc 35, for the purposes of his Flora (of Herefordshire, Purchas & Ley) Ley included it in Herefordshire.

Ok many thanks I have seen scars in Yorkshire so I have a picture in my mind now of what he meant.
