Park at the walna car park... bit of a steep hill up to it but much closer than the car park in coniston. Saw small cars and old camper vans go up it so be bold and the car will get up.
We took the longer root from the left of the car park up to goats water. Was a beautiful hike with a steady incline till you go to goats water. From there is a steep ascent up to the summit but if you take it at a steady pace you can get there ok. We were lucky and had a clear day with amazing views. The summit is exposed and so expect windy conditions at the top even on a nice day! We returned back on the same route as the other way did look a bit steep for tired knees from a week's worth of hiking the fells. Would highly recommend to beginners who would like a challenge or to seasoned hiker's who like to get an easy bagged view.

Last climbed the Old Man of Coniston about 20 years ago. This time I did it with my 13 year old son. We took the route up from the village to Low Water and then back down via Goats Water - about 4.5 hours in total. My memory (that may be incorrect) was that it used to be a bit of a scramble at the top and they seemed to have improved the footpath. Either way a very pleasant walk - although unfortunately the cloud came in just as we reached the sumit.

We did the circular route a little challenging in some parts but interesting as well, there are quite a few industrial remains on route, ruined buildings and old mine workings paraphernalia etc. unfortunately the mist blew in just as we reached the summit and we did loose the main path at one point so take care. It did clear again and although it wasn't a bright sunny day thoroughly enjoyed the hike as it made the mountain more atmospheric. Probably stating the obvious here but proper hiking shoes required.

Brilliant walk with Breathtaking landscapes and scenery. It will take you around 3-4 to complete the walk. I suggest going up via longer route and move clock wise to complete the loop.

This is a great hike. Took us around 4 hours as we headed off the beaten track and ended up going back on ourselves to get on the more popular route which was relatively busy. Lovely views on the way up/down. Quite steep in parts on the way up. The weather was quite muggy & humid but once on the top it was very windy and pretty cold so take some extra layers. I would return on a clear day as we couldn’t see anything once we reached the summit.

Absolutely amazing hike to the summit. We stopped at the tarn and had a swim on the way. Steep and should be undertaken with care and ensuring proper footwear and clothing.

We have climbed this three times- once in 1986, once as test for our kids when they were 6 and 8 years and we reclimbed now we are both pensioners this April.
Still a wonderful, relatively easy hike, although busy over Easter weekend. Steep at times and I now have limited vision, but most people very kind when overtaking and we overtook a few.
Interesting history of copper mining and also the tunnels are possible to visit in 2 places.
Beautiful views, but please take a map. We were asked for directions for a further walk by a young couple who only had a mobile 'phone.
Please also take warm clothes as weather may change.

A tough climb but so worth it. Views were amazing.
We parked up from coniston. We climbed the slightly longer route but descended the steeper shorter way.

A really good hike for to which it took us 2hours, 40 minutes with a few stops in between.
I’d say get there early in order to park as the car park gets filled quickly.
Make sure you have enough water and wear layers that are easy to take off. You get hot quickly but once you’re at the top, it’s bloody cold!
It can get steep in some places but just stop as much as you need to! (A 7 year old was doing it so I used that as my motivation to keep going haha!!)
Definitely recommend this hike - the lake in the middle was my favourite part!
We ended up detouring back via another lake too which was lovely.
Any dog owners - make sure your dogs pads are hard enough, otherwise the slate and cold will make them blister! Failing that, buy them some boots.
I’d definitely do this hike again!

Hello,
We went up today and it said the car park was closed, will it be open anytime soon ?
Or any nearby alternate car parks ? (Ideally without the big hill)

I also went there today and yes it is closed. I understand that it is being converted to a pay and display and have no idea when it will be open. I backtracked turned left into Coniston and turned left past the Bull, the road takes you past the brewery. I parked on the lane before the no parking signs and walked the lane in the direction of the YHA and Coppermines Valley. Veer off to the left for The 'Old Man'

Too far from Ambleside. Find a way to Langdale or Elterwater and do it from there. Walk covered in Wainwright Southern Fells book 4.

Hi the a539 is the quickest route I believe. You could also google the best way up or try the sat nav . Hope that helps or drive to the top car park

Hi Zwearman, the A593 is the most direct route to Coniston but I would not attempt a walk from Ambleside as it is a 4-hour walk each way from town to town. The road is very narrow in places and is really quite unsuitable for walking. I would catch the bus from Ambleside to Coniston then start your walk.

From the coppice caravan park what is the quickest way to complete this walk and typically how long should it take. Thanks

From Walna Scar car park and then using the direct route up via the disused mines route it took me a couple of hours going up and a little less coming back. There are many routes both up and down.

Is there any car parks or just park up at the side of the road?

My favourite route is to park at Torver. Road spaces and a church car park. This allows you to do a beautiful circular walk up to walna scar road then via brown pike,buck pike, Dow crag ( amazing ) Then across to the old man then return via goats water and old mines to Torver. Finish off with a well deserved beer and bar meal in one of the two pubs 😃Enjoy

Planning a family holiday the beginning of September, would this walk be doable with a 17 month old strapped to my back?

If you're reasonably fit and you have someone else to carry the rest of your gear and plenty of drinks. Pick a dry day as the slate up there can get quite slippery when wet. I know what it's like carrying the weight of a toddler on your back so to help your balance I'd suggest at least one walking pole for ascending and descending the steeper sections near the summit. Take care, take your time and take lots of photos. Enjoy.

Hello! We are planning 3 days of walking in the Lake District in mid-March. There are 2 adults in our 50s and 2 21year olds. We are all in decent shape and like hiking. We’re planning to walk up Coniston. Is March an ok time of year?

Hi there, yes as long as the weather is kind. Make an early start and make the most of the daylight hours though. Obviously you want to ensure you get back down in the light! It is stunning anytime of the year. enjoy!
