Torver 주변 최고의 반려견 동반 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

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

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.

The Cumbria Way

Take a rest and enjoy the breathtaking views across the picturesque Coniston Water lake, situated in the iconic Lake District. The lake is about 5 miles long and is surrounded by beautiful hills and mountains.

Throng Moss Reservoir, also known as Torver Tarn is an artificially enlarged reservoir used for water supply and fishing. The Cumbria Way path passes its south eastern side.

The trail along this section of the western shore feels wild and out of the way, even though you’re running along one of the most popular if the Lake District lakes. It's significantly quieter than the section from Coniston to Hoathwaite further north. The running along this trail is technical enough underfoot to be fun and feel adventurous but not so tough that you can't also look at the views. Most of the trail has some shade from the trees that grow along the shoreline, so it's also sheltered both from the sun and the worst of the Lake District weather. Most people run a loop from Torver or from the Coniston town direction. The Cumbria Way long distance trail also follows this shore. This trail runs for 73 miles (117.5 km) from Ulverston in the south to Carlisle in the north.

Coniston Water is the third largest lake in the Lake District by volume, and the fifth largest by area. It's about 5 miles (8 km) long by 2,625 ft (800 m) wide with a maximum depth of 184 ft (56 m). It sits in a deep U-shaped glacial valley. Coniston is also steeped in human history from the Bronze Age settlement sites, the Roman copper mines and as a source of fish for the Monks in Furness Abbey. More recently, it inspired the setting for Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series. Coniston was also the site for several world record water speed attempts in the 20th century. In 1939 Sir Malcolm Campbell managed 141.74 mph (228.1 kmph). Between 1956 and 1959 his son Donald Campbell set four faster records. Tragically in 1967 Donald was killed shortly after pushing the record to 320 mph (515 kmph). As a runner the lakeside trails are amazing, especially on the western shore.
