You can walk in the famous field down to the lake, where Roger (who grew up to be the asthma doctor who developed Intal) practiced his tacking.

At Windermere you can visit the Windermere Steamboats and Museum where the original Amazon, and Captain Flint's houseboat are preserved.

There are a number of pubs in Coniston village - a walk round the head of the lake - which do good evening bar meals.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12512 Getting up early http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12398 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12398 Syke Farm campsite http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12380 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12380 Buy an Ordnance Survey map http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10301 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10301
