The Old Man Coniston Walk

The Old Man of Coniston is 803 metres or 2632 feet high. It is the highest peak in the Furness Fells. The Old Man of Coniston walk has a number of routes to the summit from multiple directions, most are navigable with an ordinance survey map. Depending on time of year, some routes are very busy. However, some of the alternative routes have less tourist foot traffic. It is one of the most popular walks in the lake district, due to its stunning view of its powerful ridge that zig zags across the horizon. The summit overlooks many meres and Low Water corrie – an undeniably beautiful tarn that glistens in the belly of the hill. In addition, the summit gives walkers views of iconic peaks in the region, including Scafell and the Langdale Pikes. Finally, at the peak you’ll find the famous cairn of the Old Cairn of King’s Town. Don’t forget to stop at the The Shires Inn for a well deserved pint!
