Coniston is a village and civil parish in the Furness region of Cumbria, England. Historically part of Lancashire, Coniston is located in the southern part of the Lake District National Park, between Coniston Water, the third longest lake in the Lake District and Coniston Old Man; about 25 miles (40 km) north east of Barrow-in-Furness.
Coniston is located on the western shore of the northern end of Coniston Water. Coniston sits at the mouth of Coppermines Valley and Yewdale Beck, which descend from the Coniston Fells, historically the location of ore and slate mining. Coniston's location thus developed as a farming village and transport hub, serving these areas.
Coniston was situated in the very north-west of the historic county of Lancashire, with Coniston Old Man forming the county's highest point. Today Coniston forms part of the Lake District National Park, the administrative county of Cumbria and the local government district of South Lakeland.
Coniston grew as both a farming village, and to serve local copper and slate mines. Coniston grew in popularity as a tourist location during the Victorian era, thanks partially to the construction of a branch of the Furness Railway, which opened to passenger traffic in 1859 and terminated at Coniston railway station.
The creation of the Lake District National Park in 1951 provided a boost to tourism, with attractions such as the John Ruskin Museum and ferry services across the lake developing. Coniston is a popular spot for hill-walking and rock-climbing; there are fine walks to be had on the nearby Furness Fells and Grizedale Forest, and some of the finest rock in the Lake District on the eastern face of Dow Crag, 3 miles (4.8 km) from the village. The Grizedale Stages rally also takes place in Coniston, using the surrounding Grizedale and Broughton Moor (or Postlethwaite Allotment) forests. The village is also home to a number of hotels and two youth hostels, one at the edge of the village, the other in the nearby Coppermines Valley.
The village also has a football team, Coniston FC, who play in the Furness Premier Football League Division One, as well as their Reserve team who play in the Furness Football League Division two.
Two slate quarries still operate at Coniston, one in Coppermines Valley, the other at Brossen Stone on the east side of the Coniston Old Man. Both work Coniston's volcanic slates, being blue at Low-Brandy Crag in Coppermines Valley, and light green at Brossen Stone (bursting stone). The scenery around Coniston derives from Coniston Limestone and rocks of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group.

LAKE DISTRICT ROAD TRIP
From going on a 'death walk' over a valley to some of the best hiking in the UK, here are some amazing adventures you've just got to have in the Lake District, England.
I don’t know why but the Lake District has always evaded me on my tour of the UK. I know it’s got some of the best hikes and views around (which is usually enough for me!), but apart from that I didn’t know what else there was to do there.
Yes it’s got the hiking, but you can also do pretty much every water sport imaginable (I’m a little bit gutted I didn’t do any wakeboarding while I was in the Lakes), and the Via Ferrara Xtreme tour is one of the craziest climbing experiences I’ve ever had in my life.
If you’re looking for some amazing adventures to have in the Lake District then you can’t go wrong with any of these.

Scenic Drive To Lake District Coniston Water, April 2019 in 4K
The Lake District, also known as the Lakes or Lakeland, is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes, forests and mountains (or fells), and its associations with William Wordsworth and other Lake Poets and also with Beatrix Potter and John Ruskin. The National Park was established in 1951 and covers an area of 2,362 square kilometres. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.
The Lake District is located entirely within the county of Cumbria. All the land in England higher than 3,000 feet (914 m) above sea level lies within the National Park, including Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. It also contains the deepest and largest natural lakes in England, Wast Water and Windermere respectively.
Visiting the Lake District is one of the most popular breaks for people across the UK and from further afield. The Lake District National Park has a wide range of activities and attractions, as well as the natural beauty of the entire area. Coniston Water is the fifth largest of the lakes, at five miles long, and with a maximum depth of 184 feet. It provided an important fish source for the monks of Furness Abbey who owned the lake and much of the surrounding land in the 13th and 14th Centuries.
We drove to Coniston Water and Monk Coniston during the Easter Holiday. Monk Coniston and the surrounding area is very beautiful and it was very nice to visit to see the beautiful scenery.

The Lake District is a mountainous region in the Northwest of England its barren fells fast flowing streams and vast spans of water make this a place like no other in Britain. During the last Ice Age glaciers carved deep valleys in which nestle beautiful lakes like Coniston water. Other lakes of the district include Lake Windermere, England's largest natural freshwater lake. It's over a kilometre wide almost 17 kilometres long and up to 64 metres deep, it contains over 340 million cubic litres of water. As used expect plenty of river cruises and water sports activities can be found throughout this region. Beatrix Potters association with the Lake District has always been one of the big tourist draws to this most beautiful part of the country. In the village of Hawkshead many of Beatrix Potters original illustrations are kept, in this charming gallery. Beatrix sealed her bond with the Lake District by using the money from her books to buy a property called Hill Top Farm. She began to buy land specifically so that developers couldn't spoil what she thought the most beautiful countryside. When she died she left everything to the National Trust which at the time was one of the biggest legacies it had ever received, about 4000 acres of land, 14 farms and other assorted cottages including hilltop house itself donated so that the national trust would look after it forever for everyone. Today the Lake District is protected as a National Park but it remains the unspoilt landscape it always been thanks in at least some small part to the efforts of one Miss Beatrix Potter.
