Sun Hotel & 16th Century Inn |
|
 |
"About 100 years ago, a local brewery thought it would
be a fine idea to attach a hotel to the end of the 16th
Century pub which sits on the hill leading up to
Coniston Old Man - they were right!"
Built before 1600 on the old Walna Scar packhorse trail
to the West, the Inn provides a genuine old-fashioned
Lakeland setting with stone walls, stone floor, exposed
beams and a beautiful old range in the fireplace.

Ruskin
Museum
|
|
|
"The
most thought provoking in the Lakes"
There has been a
Ruskin Museum in Coniston since 1901, when W.G. Collingwood, a
local artist and antiquarian who had been Ruskin's secretary, set
it up both as a memorial to Ruskin and a celebration of the area's
heritage.
Therefore, although the museum has a Ruskin collection, there are
also exhibits relating to the coppermines, slate, geology, lace,
farming and Donald Campbell.
