Our next walking will be on
Saturday 13th June 2015
and will be from
Coniston in Cumbria
a Popular Spot for Hill Walking
Until the copper mines, dating from
Jacobean times, were revitalised about 1859, Coniston was a scattered
rural community. It was mainly settled around Coniston Hall, a 16th
Century farmhouse with a display of mighty chimneys, built by the
Fleming family, and now owned by the National Trust (though not open to the public).
Its best feature is The Old Man of
Coniston, rising dramatically behind the houses when seen from the
village centre. Coniston is a good centre for walkers and climbers, and
those wanting to investigate the Tilberthwaite Slate quarries.......click here for more
