Our second Lake District campsite in our campervan - Pier Cottage Caravan Site in Coniston. A beautiful site right by the side of Coniston Water.
Moored on the pier is the rebuilt steam powered Gondola luxury steam yacht.
The steam yacht Gondola is a rebuilt Victorian, screw-propelled, steam-powered passenger vessel which is moored at Pier Cottage on Coniston Water. Originally launched in 1859, she was built for the steamer service carrying passengers from the Furness Railway and from the Coniston Railway

Coniston is famous for the BlueBird and Donald Campbells world record and the attempt to go 300mph+ which sadly ended in tragedy. There's a film starring Anthony Hopkins as Donald Campbell which was made about it called Across the Lake which we saw for the first time at Pier Cottage and it was surreal seeing Pier Cottage on the TV and out of the window of the campervan and seeing it for real. - link to video: • (1988) Across the Lake
We Also took a walk into Coniston and grabbed some dinner in the Black Bull. Also took a quick look around and even glanced up at the Coniston Old Man and took a cruise on the Coniston Launch.
A fantastic site, had a great time, we would definitely go back and highly recommended.
