Coniston Cottages
Coniston, nestling between Coniston Water and the Coniston Fells, owes its early prosperity to copper mining and slate quarrying.
Today, the village's proximity to dramatic landscapes has given rise to a thriving economy based on sightseeing, water sports, mountaineering, horse riding and the consumption of real ale!
Tilberthwaite is where quarrying on an industrial scale has created a distinctive landscape of huge spoil heaps and gaping rock chasms. To the south is Torver, a quiet rural hamlet that hosts a Lakeland Country Fair in August every year.
