Brantwood

The former home of artist and writer John Ruskin is perched high above Coniston Water. Brantwood offers a fascinating insight into the world of John Ruskin and the last 28 years of his life spent at Coniston. Filled with many fine paintings, beautiful furniture and Ruskin’s personal treasures, the house retains the character of its famous resident. Famous as a writer, artist and social reformer, many great thinkers have been influenced by Ruskin’s ideas. Brantwood remains a place of inspiration. Displays and activities in the house, gardens and estate reflect the wealth of cultural associations with Ruskin’s legacy – from the Pre Raphaelites and the Arts and Crafts Movement to the founding of the National Trust and the Welfare State. With its many contemporary exhibitions, concerts, courses and special events, together with its education work in the wider community, Brantwood continues in the Ruskin tradition today.

Booked months ago, as a delayed birthday present. Well worth the wait. In the Eyrie at the top of the main house. Well appointed and large rooms and really warm. Good kitchen with all the equipment you could need to self cater. Or take a shirt trip and sample the pleasures of Coniston. Stunning views over the lake with wonderful walks. Plus John Ruskin. What more could you want? Well we got this weekend craft market. Really good stuff, a number of presents, Christmas and otherwise, purchased. Weekend so good, plan to do it in 12 months time!

Coniston Water

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

We stopped off at Coniston Water on our way north to Keswick, and it provided a great introduction to the Lake District, especially as we had booked a trip on the steam yacht Gondola, which was thoroughly enjoyable. Coniston Water is the longest lake in the Lake District, at 5 miles long. As such, it has been popular for attempts to break the water speed record, most famously by Donald Campbell who tragically died, having achieved 320 mph, when his hydroplane Bluebird somersaulted and crashed. Eminent people who owned houses along the lake include John Ruskin and Arthur Ransome. All are celebrated in the Ruskin Museum in Coniston, while Ruskin is also buried in the churchyard. The journey along the lake on Gondola, originally built in 1859 and now owned and operated by the National Trust, provided splendid views of the lake, the hills, Ruskin's and Ransome's houses - and the autumn clouds!!
