Little Langdale Tarn Road

Highlight • Trail

Lovely road from Little Langdale in the east up towards either Wrynose and Hardknott pass or the right turn past Blea Tarn and then down into Greater Langdale. Beautiful scenery and a great road but the hills are big!

Coniston Village

Highlight • Settlement

Coniston is located at the northern end of the third largest lake in the Lake District: Coniston Water. Steam yacht cruises are offered on this lake.
Coniston is said to be derived from the Old Norse words Konigs Tun or king's settlement. That king is said to have been Thorstein, a Viking who gave his name to Thurstinii Watra, the old name of Coniston Water.
