Monk Coniston is a romantic Gothic-style house - complete with minstrels'
gallery - leased from the National Trust, which maintains a rare tree collection
in the extensive landscaped grounds. Set just north of Coniston Water and
east of Coniston, which has a range of shops and cafes, it enjoys glorious views
of the lake and Coniston Old Man. Forests, valleys and unspoilt villages make
this an area of beautiful and spectacular scenery.
