Coniston Village

Highlight • Settlement

Coniston is quite 'touristy' small village but less so than Ambleside. A few pubs, cafés and shops, it is worth a look around.

The Ruskin Museum

Highlight • Monument

The Ruskin Museum is an award-winning 'Cabinet of Curiosities' that tells the story of Coniston from the early Stone Age walkers, who made and traded stone axes, to the Jet Era of the 1950s and 60s, when speed hero Donald Campbell broke four world water records in the Bluebird K7 on Coniston Water.

There has been a Ruskin Museum in Coniston since 1901, when W.G. Collingwood, a local artist and antiquarian who was Ruskin's secretary, founded it as a memorial to Ruskin and a celebration of the area's heritage.

Coniston Waterfall

Highlight • Natural Monument

Lovely waterfall tucked into scenery once sculpted by copper mines. Good place for a break or photo on the way to the summit of Coniston.

Coniston Coppermines Waterwheel

Highlight • Historical Site

This huge waterwheel, measuring 32 feet (nearly 10 metres) in diameter, was reinstalled at its original home at a former Victorian sawmill in Coniston’s Coppermines valley in 2019. Integral to the mill’s operation from 1850, it was removed when the mine ceased operations in around 1890.

Coniston Coppermines Historic Site

Highlight • Viewpoint

Absolute gem of a place with the remains of the Coppermine's buildings and machinery all in place. Surrounded by the breathtaking and dramatic scenery of the Coppermines valley with its waterfalls, and The Old Man of Coniston summit within touching distance (metaphorically), shrouded in mist. Multiple paths available from here to explore the surrounding mountains, including The Old Man. Views to die for!
