Pack a picnic and take a short walk to the shore of Coniston Water. Hire a sailing boat or canoes from the local boating centre (2 miles) or sit back and relax with a ride on a Victorian steamer which travels around the lake. The woodland trails at Grizedale Forest (6 miles) are great for all the family while the Old Man of Coniston fell (2.5 miles) is one of the hardier climbers.
