    Hiking

    This huge waterwheel, measuring 32 feet (nearly 10 metres) in diameter, was reinstalled at its original home at a former Victorian sawmill in Coniston’s Coppermines valley in 2019. Integral to the mill’s operation from 1850, it was removed when the mine ceased operations in around 1890.
