The original 'Gondola', a re-built Victorian steam yacht, was first launched in 1859 and now, completely rebuilt by the National Trust, gives passengers the chance to sail in her sumptuous, upholstered saloons. This is the perfect way to view Coniston's spectacular scenery. Sail to Monk Coniston jetty at the north of the lake, then walk through the Monk Coniston garden on to Tarn Hows. Circular walk four miles. All sailings are subject to weather conditions
- Explorer cruises hear about Coniston's famous connections!
- For a grand Victorian day out, disembark at Brantwood House.
Events celebrating the 150th anniversary of the 'original' 'Gondola'. Look out for cruises and guided walks, evening Campbell/Bluebird talks and more. Dogs in outside areas only
