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)

Well maintained traffic free footpath along the shore of Coniston Water.

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 :)

Small, simple stone house on the shore of the lake with a "University of Birmingham" sign above the door. Located on a dock with a pier for kayaks, small sailboats, etc.

The oak bench was installed on June 4, 2023. The Pattinson family wishes to honor the life of their charismatic, spirited, and much-loved relative, who grew up in Torver Station House in the 1940s and 1950s, attended school in Torver, and developed a love of the Lake District landscape, hiking in the surrounding mountains. Torver Borough Council and the National Trust supported the project in its design and installation at the highest point of the old Foxfield to Coniston branch line. The bench was designed and built by Nigel Pattinson, who worked closely with Chris Bradley of Torver Borough Council and Carole Barr. The bench's design reflects the shape of steam locomotive nameplates, and the branch stations between Foxfield and Coniston are engraved into the edge of the oak bench. The stone is inscribed with the words “Alt Maen” at the top of the central post, the ancient Celtic word for “High Stone” and the medieval name of the village of Torver, Thorvergh.
