Coniston history
Coniston Water will always be remembered as the place where Donald Campbell made his water speed record attempts which ultimately claimed his life. With the water speed record already in his hands at over 280mph (Coniston 1966), on 4th January 1967 he attempted to raise the record to 300mph. He was well on course for this when disaster struck.
Did you know that Coniston has the oldest Mountain Rescue team in the uk? The work they do is invaluable and is run by volunteers and voluntary funding. Why not think about donating to this amazing charity.
