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 6 hours.

We will 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 the ascent.

The event starts and ends at a car park on the outskirts of Coniston, LA21 8HU.

Tickets are available for £29.99 per person here.
