A beautiful setting for a holiday or business traveller. The lake is about half a mile down from the village, where you can hire boats and bikes from Coniston Boating Centre (opens in new window). There are shops, pubs and places to eat in the village. Brantwood (opens in new window) overlooking the eastern shore, John Ruskin's home, is open to visitors with its beautiful gardens and views.
