Welcome to the latest instalment in my series about my holiday in the Lake District. This post focusses on Coniston.
ANOTHER TOPE CONNECTION
As with Hawkshead which featured in my last post Coniston is a setting for one of Rebecca Tope’s Lake District series, “The Coniston Case”.
CONISTON
A short and scenic bus ride took us on from Hawkshead to Coniston. We found a likely looking pub for my birthday lunch, discovered that we could not order food before 12:30, and decided to wait because it looked very good. I found a suitable local beer to drink. The food proved to be excellent, with just one minor quibble: I asked for my steak rare, which means it should be red in the middle, and it came closer to medium than rare.
Lunch done we set off on a walk to Coniston Water. We headed back by a slightly different route.
