Autumn Advantage in Coniston

One of the biggest reasons people visit Coniston, in the Lake District, in Autumn is so they can enjoy the spectacular colours that lie across the landscape as the seasons change. Some of the best ways we have seen people enjoy these Autumnal colours is by:

• Taking a photography tour through the autumn leaves and capturing the beauty of the season with their cameras.
• Enjoying the crunch of the leaves as you explore new hiking trails.
• Getting set up with paint or pencil and paper to sketch or paint Autumn landscapes in the great outdoors (weather permitting of course).
• Relaxing in a traditional Lakeland pub with roaring fire after a day in the fells.
• Enjoying the taste of the season with local restaurants, pubs and bakeries offering pumpkin spice bakes and apple puds!
• Still enjoying al fresco meals, albeit with a jumper and possibly a nice warm blanket. This can be in a coffee shop, or in your own cottage garden.
• Enjoy the relaxing pace of a Lakeland village after the summer visitors have left.
• Heading out to your own hot tub to relax in the bubbles on a cool but bright autumnal evening.
