We stopped off at Coniston Water on our way north to Keswick, and it provided a great introduction to the Lake District, especially as we had booked a trip on the steam yacht Gondola, which was thoroughly enjoyable. Coniston Water is the longest lake in the Lake District, at 5 miles long. As such, it has been popular for attempts to break the water speed record, most famously by Donald Campbell who tragically died, having achieved 320 mph, when his hydroplane Bluebird somersaulted and crashed. Eminent people who owned houses along the lake include John Ruskin and Arthur Ransome. All are celebrated in the Ruskin Museum in Coniston, while Ruskin is also buried in the churchyard. The journey along the lake on Gondola, originally built in 1859 and now owned and operated by the National Trust, provided splendid views of the lake, the hills, Ruskin's and Ransome's houses - and the autumn clouds!!
