The bungalow also has a large pleasant orchard style south facing garden. There

Coniston, situated in the S.W. corner of the Lake District, is an ideal
centre for a relaxing holiday. It is away from the busy centre of the Lakes,
yet still in the heart of the mountains. It remains a working village, where
tourism has not enveloped traditional local industries like the slate quarries
and the hill farms. The area is a haven for walkers and climbers, with routes
to suit everyone. If you feel like a more relaxing day, why not take a self-drive
motor boat on the lake, or cruise in Victorian splendour on the beautifully
restored steam yacht "Gondola" and call in at "Brantwood",
the magnificent home of John Ruskin, the famous Victorian essayist and philosopher,
which has wonderful views back across the lake to the village and mountains
behind.
