The village of Coniston is located at the head of Lake Coniston. The village has about 30 shops including a Spar, Co-op and Hutchinson's the local village store, so all the essentials are readily to hand.

There are five pubs, which all serve meals, also cafes and restaurants.

At the lake shore the Boating Centre has sailing, rowing and electric powered boats for hire. Lake Coniston is where Donald Campbell met his untimely end in Bluebird whilst attempting a new world water speed record. The Ruskin museum is hoping to display the restored Bluebird sometime in the future.
