Coniston Village

Highlight • Settlement

Coniston is located at the northern end of the third largest lake in the Lake District: Coniston Water. Steam yacht cruises are offered on this lake.
Coniston is said to be derived from the Old Norse words Konigs Tun or king's settlement. That king is said to have been Thorstein, a Viking who gave his name to Thurstinii Watra, the old name of Coniston Water.

Hodge Close Quarry

Highlight • Climb

The Hodge Close quarry is one of the many slate quarries in the Tilberthwaite valley, between Langdale and Coniston. This quarry was worked until the early 1960s.
The Hodge Close quarry is a huge excavation of light green slate, with steep walls and no fences, with an original depth of about 100 metres from the ground. The 45 metre deep wall is popular with abseilers, while the 45 metre deep, submerged, tunnels that extend below the surface are favoured by divers.

North Shore of Coniston Water

Highlight • Lake

In the summer this is one of the best spots for a picnic. If you continue around the lake from the car park you will come to a jetty which is great from swimming from.
