Old Man of Coniston

The Old Man of Coniston is a fell in the Furness Fells of the Lake District in Cumbria, England, and is the highest point (county top) of the historic county of Lancashire. It is at least 2,632.62 feet (802.42 m) high, and lies to the west of the village of Coniston and the lake, Coniston Water. The fell is sometimes known by the alternative name of Coniston Old Man, or simply The Old Man. The mountain is popular with tourists and fell-walkers with a number of well-marked paths to the summit. The mountain has also seen extensive copper and slate mining activity for eight hundred years, and the remains of abandoned mines and spoil tips are a significant feature of the north-east slopes.

Goat's Water

Goat's Water is a small accessible tarn in the English Lake District, located between Dow Crag and The Old Man of Coniston to the Duddon Valley, near the town of Coniston. The tarn is a 2 mile walk from the car park above Coniston village. The tarn is a popular summer walking / hiking and rock climbing point and also a popular remote fly fishing location with the water holding a number of small native wild brown trout.

Levers Water

Levers Water is a small lake in the English Lake District. It is located at the head of the Coppermines Valley, above Coniston village. To its south-west is Raven Tor, a spur of Brim Fell, and to its north-west are Little How Crags and Great How Crags, on the eastern side of the north–south ridge leading to Swirl How. A dam built in 1717 enlarged the existing tarn to provide water for the mines and for the village below. A public footpath on the north-east side of the lake connects the Coppermines Valley to Swirl Hawse. This traverses an area of vulnerable peatland and a path here was rebuilt in 2023 to help protect the landscape from erosion by walkers. To the south-west, a path leads up Gill Cove to Levers Hawse on the main ridge of the Coniston Fells.

Dow Crag

Dow Crag is a fell in the English Lake District near Coniston, Cumbria. The eastern face is one of the many rock faces in the Lake District used for rock climbing. The name Dow Crag originally applied specifically to the eastern face which looks down upon the tarn of Goat's Water, the fell itself having no need for a name before the inception of hill walking in the 19th century. As with many fells the name of a prominent feature was then applied to the whole mass. Dow was originally named Doe and still locally pronounced as "Doe".
