Walking from Monk Coniston - Grizedale Forest

I left Monk Coniston via the arboretum and right for a short distance on the B5285 and then turned right along a path through Hollin Bank farm (to the left of the buildings).

Left onto a small lane, past a junction and then right on a path through Lags wood.

There are multiple paths through the woods.

It gets quite high (314m) so there are some views of Coniston and Coniston Water when there are gaps in the trees.

About This Site

Here is some information I have gathered together about getting to and walking from HF houses when leaving the car at home. On these pages I have also put some history about former HF houses I have visited.

The information here is based on my visits to HF houses over the years. It may be out of date so don't rely on anything here without checking. If you find any errors why not let others know by putting a post on the HF Holiday Fans ( unofficial) Facebook forum. I will try to quote such posts here so they don't get lost.

This is information I have discovered over the years which would have been useful to know before. Unfortunately the travel information on the HF website, for getting to houses by public transport, is poor. I think it would be better if the information on this page were on the HF website.
