Coniston Launch

Coniston Launch was founded by Gordon and Margaret Hall in 1992 with one boat (M.L. Ruskin) mainly to run a service between Coniston and Brantwood, but also calling at Monk Coniston. It was soon recognized that there was a need to cater for walkers and, after a couple of false starts, a jetty was established at Torver.

Because of the need to manage coach parties it was thought possible to sustain a second boat. On a trial basis M.L. Iris was chartered from Keswick Launch for most of the 1994 season. This proved successful so a second boat was purchased (M.L. Ransome) that winter and Iris was returned to Keswick.

In 1995 the Special Interest Cruises were further developed and cruises now encompassed the southern end of the lake. Tremendous efforts were made to obtain landowners’ consent and planning permission for jetties at various points around the south of the lake but it was not until 1999 that it became possible to run to Lake Bank, Park a Mor and Sunny Bank.

In 2005 we stopped calling at Monk Coniston jetty, and developed Waterhead as an excellent substitute. Then in 2006 we left Park a Mor and developed Water Park.

In February 2008 the founders Gordon and Margaret left the business and it was taken on by Douglas and Gillian Hodgson.

The Ruskin Museum

There has been a Ruskin Museum in Coniston since 1901, when W.G. Collingwood, a local artist and antiquarian who had been Ruskin’s secretary, set it up as a memorial to Ruskin. This original collection is now housed in the Museum’s Ruskin Gallery

In 1999 the Museum was extended with the help of a Heritage Lottery grant to include the Coniston Gallery full of local heritage displays and again in 2008 with the creation of the Bluebird Wing, purpose built as the future home of Donald Campbell’s iconic hydroplane Bluebird K7 and a tribute to both Sir Malcolm and Donald Campbell CBE

Therefore, as well as the Ruskin collection, the Museum houses many other exhibits including Coniston Coppermining, Slate Quarrying, local geology, Ruskin Lace, rock climbing, farming, Arthur Ransome and of course speed ace Donald Campbell.
