Coniston and our "Coniston" Suite
The Lake District is the most beautiful and romantic place to visit, which is why we’ve taken inspiration from it towns and villages to name our suites. Should you wish to get out and explore further than your suite, here is some information about its namesake Coniston, a busy village on Coniston Water. Overlooked by The Old Man of Coniston, it’s famous for, among other things, Swallows and Amazons and speed ace Donald Campbell.
The Setting
Coniston is a large village on Coniston Water. Overlooked by Coniston Old Man (at 803m it is the highest point in the Furness Fells) it is popular for walkers and climbers. Coniston’s popularity as a tourist destination started with the Victorians. The poet John Ruskin bought a huge house, Brantwood in 1871, which looks onto the lake from the eastern side of Coniston Water and is worth a visit. At five miles long, the lake is the third largest in the Lake District and has been the setting for many water speed record attempts.
Did you know?
Kanchenjunga, the mountain in Arthur Ransome’s Swallowdale was inspired by the Old Man of Coniston. That’s not where the inspiration ended, Peel Island on Coniston Water is Wild Cat Island in Swallows and Amazons.
Famous people
Arthur Ransome drew much inspiration from Coniston Water for his books Swallowdale and Swallows and Amazons. The poet, John Ruskin lived in Brantwood, a mansion on the edge of Coniston Water, until his death in 1900, choosing to be buried in St Andrews, Coniston. Sir Malcolm Campbell set the water speed record at over 140mph in his boat, Bluebird K4 in 1939. Donald Campbell, Sir Malcolm Campbell’s son, set four water speed records between 1956 and 1959. His quest to break through 300mph proved to be his final attempt. In January 1967 he achieved 320mph before losing control and crashing.
