Notes and points of interest

Coniston This popular village stands close to, but not alongside, the lake that bears its name. The lake was, in fact, only named after the village during the 20th century. Coniston has lots of pubs, cafes and shops, includng several walking shops. Many visitors come to pay homage to Donald Campbell, who died during a water speed record attempt on the lake and is now buried in the village (not in the churchyard, but in a larger cemetary on the Hawkshead side of the village.

Old Man of Coniston this mountain dominates the village and is another recommended walk for a different day.
