Coniston Old Man in the Lake District

Welcome to the EDGE Guide to the Old Man of Coniston in the Lake District.

Old Man of Coniston and the Coniston Fells.
The Coniston Fells including Coniston Old Man.


Location: SD 273978 Sheet 96.
Height: 2634ft/801m.

The east side of Old Man overlooking Coniston Water and the small town of Coniston is the best. Views west are not so interesting.

There are many old and interesting manmade features found on the mountains sides, mostly related to mining.
