Group University of Leeds Events
Venue Coniston in the Lake District
Starts Sat 26 Oct 8:00AM
End Sat 26 Oct 6:30PM

Join Get Out Get Active for a guided walk around Coniston. Starting on the shores of Coniston Water and making our way up the National Trust's Tarn Howes.

Nestled in the heart of the Lake District, Coniston, a former mining town with immense natural beauty, is a must visit Lakeland location on the Western shore of one of England's largest Lakes. Coniston Water is a relic of the last ice age and Arctic Char fish still inhabit the lake

 Nestled between the lake and the “Old Man of Coniston”, the highest mountain in the valley, the village is a picturesque mix of whitewashed houses and rows of workers cottages built on the hillside, and fashioned from the local green slate traditionally mined here.

We will explore the countryside around Coniston with two different distance walk options. There will be opportunities en route to take photographs and appreciate the views. The walk will finish with some free time for you to explore Coniston's shops and cafes before we return back to Leeds. Coach travel pick up and drop off at Parkinson Steps is included.
