Traveller's Guide to the South and Central Lakes

golakestravel.co.uk 43 Coniston Nestling between Coniston Water and the Coniston Fells, this village owes its early existence to copper mining and slate quarrying. Today, tourism has usurped these former industries, and the village’s proximity to dramatic landscapes – lake, mountains, waterfalls, tarns, woods – has given rise to a thriving economy based on walking, sightseeing, watersports, mountaineering, horse riding and the consumption of real ale!
