Hiking

This modern slate monument and bench is located on Campbell Green near the tourist information centre in Coniston. It commemorates Donald Campbell C.B.E. (1921-1967), land and water speed record holder, who was killed on 4 January 1967 while attempting to improve his own speed record on Coniston Water. The monument also commemorates Leo Villa O.B.E. (1899-1979), the Campbells' chief engineer.
