About

The Coniston, Broughton & Kirkby area encompasses a significant portion of the southern Lake District, defined by rugged fells and long, narrow lakes. Coniston Water is a central feature, with the village of Coniston at its head, while the Duddon Valley runs to the southwest. The area includes the high fells of the Coniston range, including the Old Man, and stretches west to include the estuary of the River Duddon. Kirkby-in-Furness sits near the coast, with its landscape marked by historic slate quarries.

The settlements are largely shaped by historic industries, notably copper mining and slate extraction, whose remnants are visible on the fellsides. Farming continues in the valleys, with a mix of sheep grazing and cattle. The area is traversed by walking routes like the Cumbria Way and is known for its association with Donald Campbell, who set water speed records on Coniston Water. The geology varies dramatically from the volcanic rocks of the high fells to the coastal flats near Kirkby.
