It’s easy to see why the Lake District is one of the most popular places to visit in the UK. First of all, it’s brimming with natural beauty, with rugged mountains giving way to smooth expanses of tranquil water.
But it’s also a place full of romance which has inspired writers and artists for centuries. Tucked among the fells are villages where the pace of life is slower and pretty cottages sit harmoniously in the landscape.
Located in the heart of the national park, the village of Coniston offers just this. It’s overlooked by the imposing Old Man of Coniston, a fell which stands at over 2,600ft high and provides a stunning backdrop to the village’s picture-perfect buildings.
