About Coniston Water

About Coniston Water

Coniston Water in the Lake District covers an area of 4.9 km2 (1.89 sq mi). It is the third largest body of water in the Lakes at 8 km (5 km) long and approximately 800 m (0.5 mi) wide.

Activities

A popular tourist destination, many visitors take to the lake for a spot of fishing, kayaking, canoeing and boating. A Victorian steam yacht named Gondola has been reinstated and beautifully restored by the National Trust to provide tours of the lake. Once on the water, visitors are rewarded with spectacular views of the scenery, including a closer look at three National Trust owned islands on the lake.

Events

A sight of historical importance, several world water speed records were set by Sir Malcolm Campbell and his son Donald Campbell between 1939 and 1959. Every year during Records Week, competitors flock to the lake to attempt to set new world records.
