- Coniston Water and Old Man of Coniston within walking distance
- Well-equipped hand-crafted lodges with kingsize bed and full kitchen
Heading to the Lake District with walking in mind? Book in at Coniston Shepherd Hut Lodges and you’ll be all set.
Come along to this adults-only glamping site just outside Coniston and you’ll be in prime position for all sorts of excellent trails in this gorgeously scenic area. Scafell Pike, Windermere and Rydal Water are among the top destinations within a drive of half an hour or so, and there are plenty more routes tucked away nearby too.
In fact, if you’d like to be entirely reliant on walking, this is the place to be, as you’ll even be able to head out onto routes directly from the site, taking you to some waterfalls (450 metres away), the shores of Coniston Water (25 minutes’ walk) or up to the top of the Old Man of Coniston (about an hour’s walk).
Having the village of Coniston within easy reach is handy too – its shops, cafés, takeaways and pubs are only about five minutes away on foot, and there’s a bus stop for your onward journeys.
This excellent location is backed up by some excellent accommodation as well – here you’ll be staying in a cosy hand-crafted lodge with a kingsize bed, a comfy sofa, a TV, heating and a well-equipped kitchen as well as a private bathroom.

Local attractions
Take a stroll from your lodge and you can be climbing the Old Man of Coniston, wandering to waterfalls for a wild swim or heading over to Coniston Water for lakeside walks, canoeing or paddleboarding. There’s also the option of trying out one of the local mountain bike trails or plumping for a cruise on a National Trust-run steam yacht gondola from the lakeshore.
More hikes? There are almost too many to choose from, but a few popular locations nearby include the Coniston Copper Mines (10 minutes’ drive), Tarn Hows (15 minutes), Skelwith Force (15 minutes) and Rydal Water (25 minutes). Scafell Pike (25 minutes) presents a good challenge for more intrepid hikers, or perhaps Helvellyn (50 minutes).
Time for something more sedate? Visit the art collection and gardens of Brantwood (10 minutes), see Beatrix Potter’s former home at National Trust - Hill Top (20 minutes) or head to the eastern shore of Windermere for the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction (35 minutes) and Blackwell - the Arts & Crafts House (40 minutes).
