There are loads of walks nearby and cafes in Coniston village which is a short walk away. Please note this is not a dog-friendly activity but there are plenty of walks nearby for spectators to take their furry friends.
Situated in the heart of The Lake District National Park is Stickle Ghyll. A truly unique ghyll that winds its way up the mountainside towards Stickle Tarn, which is nestled between the magnificent Langdale Pikes.
