Coniston Hall is a former house on the west bank of Coniston Water in the Lake District. The house dates from the late 16th century, or possibly earlier. It is built in ruins with a slate roof. Part of it is now in ruins, part is used as a farm, and part is used as a campsite. The hall is owned by the National Trust, but is not open to the public. (Wikipedia)

Coniston Water is a lake in the Lake District. It is the third largest lake by volume, after Windermere and Ullswater, and the fifth largest by surface area. The lake is 8.7 kilometres (5.4 mi) long, 730 metres (2,400 ft) wide and 56.1 metres (180 ft) deep. The lake drains into the River Crake, which flows into Morecambe Bay via the estuary of the River Leven. (Wikipedia)

One of the best views in the uk

Watch out for the walkers when cycling .. ok got a road bike as flat and hard surface

Newly extended this is a great place to eat right on the lake shore

The lake is a wonderful place to enjoy from one of the paths along the shore or from the surrounding mountains. The Cumbria Way also runs along the shore for about 4km, passing campsites. A herd of cows grazes in a meadow adjacent to the lake – and of course, the usual sheep are also around :)

Easy to find on the higher side of the fire road

The Cumbria Way follows the western shore of Coniston Water for 4km. This is a beautiful tranquil section of the path with good views across the lake. You will often see schools of sailing dinghys and of course the Coniston Launch ferry. There are several jetties where the launch will stop with timetables. It is much more enjoyable to walk though.
