Tips

Coniston is the 5th largest lake and it's 5 miles (8 km) in length. Riding up the eastern shore is great because the road is so quiet – especially compared to the A-road on the other side. From the east you've got beautiful views over to the Old Man of Coniston on the other side.

If you need a rest stop; it's very relaxing to sit next to the lake!

If you are in the lakes it's worth spinning around here
