Coniston - Tarn Hows - Coniston

This is a free sample walk but you need to log in as a member of Walkingworld to access the details. Join or log in above if you are already a member.

A gentle stroll through fields and forest takes you from Coniston up to Tarn Hows. The walk then circles the tarn, before descending through forest back to the banks of Coniston Water. A reward at the end is a pint of the local Bluebird ale at the Black Bull Inn.

An absolutely beautiful walk although we did struggle with the initial directions. Basically, as you leave Coniston car park you will see the Internet cafe in front of you. Turn right down Tiberthwaite Avenue and then you can't go wrong. Well maybe you can when you arrive at point 7 to discover that both the stile and the deer fence have been removed [there are some remnants left to give you a clue though].

This is a much better approach to Tarn Hows than Windermere. We did it when quiet. I can thoroughly recommend a pint of Bluebird at the end!
