Historical Description

Coniston Fells, a range of mountains on the west side of Coniston Water, in the extreme NW of Lancashire. It forms the grandest portion of the magnificent mountain tract of Upper Furness, and culminates 3 miles W by N of the head of Coniston Water in a remarkable summit 2632 feet high, called the Old Man of Coniston. Transition limestone is at the base of the range, sienitic granite appears in part of the ascent, and fine clay slate forms the main substance.
