One of those busy Lake District villages, the perfect hideaway village, Coniston has many top quality B&B's and Guest Houses dotted around its many lanes, a camp site with lake frontage can also be found on the road out to Torver.
Donald Campbell has helped make this peacful place a well known spot, he powered his powerboat bluebird to his end while trying to break the world water speed record.
The wreckage was recovered from its watery grave in 2001 and the Ruskin Museum are aiming at totally restoring the bluebird and showing it to the public in the interest of engineering rather than just some wreck of a speed boat.
Gondola the famous steam yacht can be seen cruising up and down Coniston Water carrying visitors on scenic lake trips the experience cant be beaten and is a must if Coniston is on your plans for your holiday in the Lake District.
