There is an option to break your journey at Brantwood, the former home of John Ruskin, poet, artist and social reformer.
Visit the house, garden, craft gallery and Brantwood Café, with tables overlooking the lake. Return to Coniston on a later sailing.

Coniston Boat Landings is a short stroll from Coniston village, via Lake Road, just beyond the Bluebird Cafe.
You can use your around the lake ticket to hop on and off at various points around the lake, or stay on for a cruise on Coniston Water.
You can also break your journey at Brantwood, a historic house once owned by John Ruskin. If you haven’t already booked for Brantwood, you can buy a discounted house entry ticket on-board the boat, although no ticket is required to visit the gallery and Brantwood Café (outdoor area looking out over the lake). You can return on the red or yellow route with your ticket.
