Coniston lake & Gandola steam boat
Visited this place for first time with not great expectations.. but the place blew my mind . This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited . The way to this place was so picturesque that I can’t tell in words . It has to be experienced personally. Then used the gandola 1860 steam boat to take the tour of the lake and it’s worth the money. Such a experience that even my kids age 4 & 9 loved single minute of the lake drive . It’s a must visit place … loved it to bits

Brilliant experience
100% worth a visit, whether just for a hike around the lake, for kayaking, paddleboarding and many more watersports activities whilst surrounded by beautiful scenery. It's a long way around the lake so think about maybe hiring bikes from the boating centre. We had a great day and would 100% recommend visiting Coniston Water to anyone.

Brown Howe Car Park: Kayaking
Beautiful spot. Much quieter than Windermere, Ambleside or Keswick so ideal during Summer holidays/ Bank Holidays or mid-term. Not expensive to park, lots of grassy patches to sit on, pebbled beaches ideal for kayaks or paddle boards, smooth flat water making for very safe swimming /paddling / kayaking (which is why Sir Donald Campbell used it for his water speer record), fabulous oak lined lake, offering shaded spots as well as sunny spots. Small stream with fish to entertain the children.
