Coniston- Steam Yacht Gondola
The steam yacht gondola.
Location : Coniston
The Steam Yacht Gondola is the oldest steam yacht in the North of England. She was built in 1859 by the Furness Railway Company as an attraction for the tourists they brought by train to Coniston . Now fully restored, she once again provides cruises and boat trips on beautiful Coniston Water.
The restored yacht was relaunched on 25th March 1980 and, after a break of 44 years, finally re-entered public service on Coniston Water , Cumbria’s fifth largest lake.
Steam Yacht Gondola gave Arthur Ransome the idea for Captain Flint’s houseboat in his children’s book ‘Swallows and Amazons’ , although this was eventually modelled on Esperance (now at Windermere Jetty Museum at Bowness-on-Windermere ).

Steam Yacht Gondola
One of the best ways to experience Coniston Water is to take a cruise on the Gondola, a Victorian steam-powered yacht operated by the National Trust. The boat carries up to 86 passengers in luxuriously upholstered saloons.
A variety of cruises run from the beginning of April until the end of October. The regular cruise takes 45 minutes and explores the northern half of the lake. It departs from Coniston Pier, calling at Brantwood and Monk Coniston, before returning to Coniston Pier.
Passengers can break their journey at any stop to explore the area. Brantwood was John Ruskin’s home from 1872 until his death in 1900. The house and its extensive gardens are now open to the public. The Jumping Jenny café is also here and serves hot meals, soups, and sandwiches.
From Monk Coniston there’s an excellent walk to Tarn Hows , one of the most picturesque sights in the Lake District. The walk there and back is 3½ miles long (or 5 miles with a circuit around Tarn Hows) and can be downloaded from the National Trust website.
More extensive cruises, covering the whole of the Coniston and lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes, are also offered.
For timetables and ticket prices visit the official National Trust website. Tickets are purchased on-board, but groups of 15 or more must book in advance. No discounts are available to National Trust members.
Coniston Pier is situated at the northern end of Coniston Water, at the end of Lake Road and next to the Coniston Boating Centre . The Coniston Launch also departs from here. There is a pay-and-display car park and a café close to the pier.

Reviews and Additional Information
I’ve ridden on Gondola many times and have loved the silky smoothness. But the last time, going into the waves, there was a resonant vibration at the bow. I don’t think the captain at the stern could have sensed it. I hope in future it can be avoided.
A wonderful trip! Call at the Jumping Jenny cafe for a relaxing cup of tea – such great views of the lake from here.
I agree. The trip is very comfortable.

Sailing On The National Trust’s Steam Yacht Gondola on Coniston Water, Cumbria
When author Arthur Ransome wrote the popular children’s novel Swallows and Amazons his main source of inspiration came from the stunning scenery that surrounded his Low Ludderburn home, which was close to Coniston Water in the Lake District.
If you’ve never read the adventures of the Walker children, the lake which the kids sail on is only described as ‘that great lake in the North’, meanwhile Ransome spent a lot of time on Coniston’s Peel Island, which is said to be Wild Cat Island in the book.
Having read Swallows and Amazons when I was younger, and watched the film, I knew a little of the area. And back in the summer of 2016, The National Trust hosted The Great Swallows and Amazons Summer, as many of their locations provided a backdrop for the family film.
But seeing the Lake on-screen, is no comparison to viewing it in real life, and on our holiday to the Lake District back in the summer, I would cite our sailing trip on Coniston Water as one of my favourite experiences.
The weather the day we boarded the National Trust’s Steam Yacht Gondola from Coniston Pier was glorious. It was mild, and there was a slight breeze in the air, just enough to ruffle the whisps of my hair, while the sun reflected across the still, calm water.
Perhaps it was the unseasonably warm weather, which made our sailing trip even more enchanting, or perhaps it was the laughing children paddling around the lake, but the general feeling that day was one of optimism and joy.
Or maybe it was because we got to enjoy Coniston Water from the vantage point of a Victorian institution. The Steam Yacht Gondola is an impressive vessel. Not only does it have the look and feel of a charming entity, but it is shrouded in history. The launch of the original Gondola back in 1859 was to cater for wealthy Victorians who wanted to enjoy the Lake District. She started off life as a houseboat, but fell into wrack and ruin after a violent storm meant she became partly submerged and languished in her watery grave for over a decade.
In the late 1970s, however, Vickers Shipbuilding & Engineering came to the rescue and lovingly rebuilt and restored the Gondola which was then relaunched in 1980 and has been cruising Coniston Water ever since.
You can tell the staff absolutely love taking the Gondola out and delighting the many visitors lucky enough to board her. They are wonderful with children, too. Monkey was so excited to be able to peek through the open hatch to the engine room, while the engineer explained just how the Gondola is propelled by steam.
The best bit by far for him came a little later, when the captain declared that all the children onboard could take a turn at the helm. They all loved it.
Standing out on the deck and being able to learn the stories of not only the vessel but of the lake was fascinating – such as the tragic death of British Speed Record Breaker Donald Campbell after his jet-powered boat Bluebird flipped over and disintegrated as he tried to set a new water-speed record in 1967.
It was also interesting discovering more about the area’s real estate and how exclusive – and expensive – the properties are on Coniston Water, such as the Victorian boathouse that influenced Ransome’s story. It went on sale for a whopping £150,000.
The Gondola also stops off at the different points around the lake, which means passengers can disembark or board should they wish to discover more around Coniston on foot – such as hike up to Tarn Hows, or the Tree Trail at Monk Coniston Estate, which was once owned by Beatrix Potter. You can also get off to explore Brantwood , the home of artist John Ruskin, which houses fine art, architecture and furniture.
We chose not to get off, enjoying our peaceful journey across the lake and the sunshine on our faces. Even with the baby deciding not to nap, we found time went ever so quickly and our two-hour sailing trip soon came to a close.
We all waved as the Gondola headed off into the sunset dropping of the last of the passengers at a nearby campsite right on the water’s edge. It was difficult to tear ourselves away, so we got some ice creams and sat on the pier, skimming stones. We may not have been sailing our own dinghies but in some small way, we also had our own mini Swallows and Amazons adventure that day…
Things To Know
• There is car park by Coniston Water but if you’re unable to find a parking space – which is likely – you can find residential streets around the village and walk in. • Check out the Gondola’s timetable online and drop-off points – tickets can also be booked in advance. • Tickets costs from £11 per adult and £6 • Prams cannot be brought onboard, but there is a buggy park on Coniston Pier • There is a toilet on board the Gondola • There are facilities and a cafe near Coniston Water Pier

Great place for coffee, pizza or ale. Wonderful, friendly service and delicious cappuccino. Will certainly be back and I have a new "go to" hangout!
Good coffee (from DOMA) in a nice space. It's now impossible to walk more than a block-and-a-half in Moscow without running into a great coffee place. Steam served up a strong contender in Moscow's best latte. Nice, open, industrial aesthetic, good equipment, and great coffee. It's hard to beat Martin Square for summertime ambiance, and I expect the courtyard will be a popular destination once the weather warms up.
They put a bird on it.
The menu, and barista cave.
Truly a hidden gem. Some of the best coffee I've had in this area, menu is pretty straightforward but they do the basics very very well. Almost don't want to write a good review so this place doesn't get crazy busy.
Friendly fast service, precisely timed and weighed shots of Doma, delicious and aromatic house-made lavender syrup, vanilla syrup, and chocolate or caramel sauce. Cool latte art too! The space is nice with an industrial theme.
Hidden away so somewhat hard to find. Approached the counter and man looking girl didnt acknowledge or make eye contact, but was talkiing on her...so I left. She did however come out and ask if she could help me as the didnt open for another 25 minutes and offered to get something started. I didnt get any coffee but wanted to explain my experience.
Best mocha ever! They make the mix in house. Thanks, guys, I'll be back!
Cold brew was good. Not a fan of the espresso,it too acidic and citrus for my liking. Prices were good for a bag of beans it was only 10.50, but then again I'm from CA ... The coffee shop was attached to a bar and a pizza joint.
Positive: Food, coffee, location, atmosphere all are excellent. Nicely decorated and clean feeling. Negative: Menu is confusing, we went in looking for Steam menu, which is only located on the steam side, no sign on slice and biscuit or indication of it, we did find it, but there was no one there and it referred us back to the slice and biscuit side. Service: Being the only ones there, it wouldn't hurt to Smile. Also don't say you didn't hear us come in when you looked right at us. Overall will be back to much positive things, menus can be change and staff better trained.

We went on the 13.45 full lake cruise. Gondola is a sleek and beautifully preserved steam launch, originally built in 1860. Some of the original boat is still part of the present version, which has been recreated to the same specifications. The engine is a joy to behold and is absolutely immaculate.

Delivery & Pickup Options - 8 reviews of Steam Coffee "Good coffee (from DOMA) in a nice space. It's now impossible to walk more than a block-and-a-half in Moscow without running into a great coffee place. Steam served up a strong contender in Moscow's best latte. Nice, open, industrial aesthetic, good equipment, and great coffee. It's hard to beat Martin Square for summertime ambiance, and I ...
