Brantwood Pier

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pier onto the lake. Wonderful views, perfect to jump in for a swim!

Tip by

37.5 km

Coniston is the 5th largest lake and it's 5 miles (8 km) in length. Riding up the eastern shore is great because the road is so quiet – especially compared to the A-road on the other side. From the east you've got beautiful views over to the Old Man of Coniston on the other side.
