Coniston Village Walk | The Lake District - Cumbria

If you enjoy this relaxing walk, please leave a comment..always interested in what you think of these walks and tours! Take a walk around this beautiful little village in the Lake District in Cumbria. Coniston grew as both a farming village, and to serve local copper and slate mines. It grew in popularity as a tourist location during the Victorian era, thanks partially to the construction of a branch of the Furness Railway, which opened to passenger traffic in 1859 and terminated at Coniston railway station. The poet and social critic John Ruskin also popularised the village, buying the mansion Brantwood on the eastern side of Coniston Water in 1871. Before his death, he rejected the option to be buried in Westminster Abbey, instead being laid to rest in the churchyard of St Andrew's, Coniston. Ruskin Museum, established in 1901, is both a memorial to Ruskin and a local museum covering the history and heritage of Coniston Water and the Lake District. 🥾 Check Out My Walk https://strava.app.link/imCFt1QvGGb ⭐Please Subscribe To Help My Channel https://bit.ly/3fLVjed ⭐ ⭐ See 'Playlists' Below - Subscribe To See More Villages, Countryside & Nature Walks 🥾 The Lake District Cumbria http://bitly.ws/LQIw Yorkshire Dales National Park https://bit.ly/3LulSAE English Villages https://bit.ly/3zb3054 Abandoned Houses & Ruins Walks https://bit.ly/3Ag8P1F Yorkshire County England https://bit.ly/3LCSBS4 Lancashire County England https://bit.ly/3wOHmAu Relaxing Forrest Walks https://bit.ly/3GjfxF4 Relaxing River & Canal Walks https://bit.ly/3z0sim7 Places & Destinations Walks https://bit.ly/3wLhmWW Relaxing Walks & Hikes https://bit.ly/3sTBTHM Walks With Relaxing Music https://bit.ly/3LHcuri Casual relaxed walks around the beautiful UK.
