2012 Cruise Timetable
A visit to the Lake District is not complete without a trip on
Steam Yacht Gondola
on Coniston.
Gondola is a beautifully-rebuilt Victorian steam powered passenger yacht that sails on Coniston water from the beginning of April
until the end of
October
each year. Managed by the National Trust, Gondola offers the most unique and relaxing sailing experience in
sumptuous, upholstered saloons
and is the
perfect way to view Coniston's spectacular scenery.
The original Gondola was first launched in 1859 and has been completely rebuilt by the National Trust. Each journey involves a sail to Monk Coniston jetty at the north of the lake; then a walk through Monk Coniston garden and on to Tarn Hows. Or disembark at Brantwood and visit the home of the eminent Victorian art-critic, writer and water-colour artist John Ruskin.
Half-Lake Cruises on Gondola
Half-lake 45 minute cruises take place daily, calling in at Brantwood
(25 minutes past the hour)
