Coniston Launch offers a variety of ways that you can enjoy a beautiful boat cruise on Coniston Water in the Lake District.
- There are regular services covering two different circular routes on Coniston Water. You have the option to stay on the boat for the full cruise or stop off at any of the jetties to catch a later boat back. We recommend that you combine a boat cruise with a walk around the shore of Coniston Water.
Special cruises on Coniston
In addition, to their scheduled services, they organise these special cruises on Coniston Water:
Swallows & Amazon Cruise
This is an ideal trip and great fun for those who are familiar with the Swallows & Amazons stories. Arthur Ransome used many places around Coniston Water to populate the imaginary lake of his books and the Swallows & Amazons films. Enjoy the 90 minute cruise as you discover places including Wild Cat Island.
Campbells on Coniston cruise
This cruise offers a comprehensive talk about the speed record attempts on Coniston Water from the late 1930’s to the mid-60’s, and also covers more recent events. The 90 minute cruise follows the route of the heroic Campbells, concentrating on Donald’s last, fatal bid to better 300mph on water.
