DESCRIPTION
The Old Man of Coniston, is a 802m high hill (or 'fell') in the Lake District, Cumbria, England.
​
'Old Man' is believed to come from “Alt Maen” meaning “High Stone” in Norse, and Coniston was “Konig's Tun” or King’s Farm (so High Stone of King's Farm).
​
The circular route we follow is 7 miles (11km) and takes an estimated 7 hours.
We walk at a steady pace for this hike, after which we visit a local pub for a chat and refreshing drink. A moderate/good level of fitness will allow you to complete the walk and ascents.
