Coniston Water from the A5084

At last a view of the lake - the A593 does not run alongside and it is not until you head south of Torver on the A5084 that the lake comes into view.

Coniston Water

Coniston Water is the fifth largest of the lakes, at five miles long, and with a maximum depth of 184 feet. It provided an important fish source for the monks of Furness Abbey who owned the lake and much of the surrounding land in the 13th and 14th Centuries.

The Wilson Arms

With few patrons on a moody March day, The Wilson Arms catches a fleeting patch of sun beneath the lower slopes of The Coniston Fells. The adjacent Torver Deli is an integral part of the pub and also serves as a useful village shop for the few remaining residents in a village consisting mainly of holiday homes. The pub describes itself as The Wilson Arms but the pub sign reads The Wilsons; the website has both! It is unusual to find a pub using two official names simultaneously.
