Location
A holiday cottage in Coniston takes you away from the busy streets of Bowness, and the sometimes touristy feel of Lake Windermere.
This picturesque and peaceful village lies in the west of the Lakes, on the edge of Coniston Water - the Lake District's third largest lake.
Overlooked by the dramatic presence of Coniston Old Man - a famous Lake District hike - the lake provides water-borne activities in breathtaking surroundings.
Coniston's Victorian stream yacht gondola and traditional launches offer relaxed, scenic cruises.
You'll learn about Donald Campbell's famous water speed record attempt in 'Bluebird', and explore Peel Island which provided the setting for 'Wild Cat Island' in Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons.
Overlooking Coniston is Brantwood, historic home of the artist, writer and creative thinker John Ruskin.
The house is open to the public and has an excellent cafe, The Jumping Jenny, with superb lake views.
For exploring further afield, a holiday home in Coniston provides a peaceful, picturesque but convenient base.
Find Hawkshead and Windermere to your east, Langdale and Grasmere to the north and Ulverston to the south, with manageable journeys by bus or car.
For a spectacular scenic drive, head west to the Duddon Valley and follow Wrynose Pass to Eskdale, followed by Hardknott Pass to Little Langdale.
Very steep roads but worth it for the scenery!
Please note: Due to the age of the cottage, it has a steep staircase, a step in the kitchen and uneven floors upstairs, therefore Curdle Dub is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
