Coniston is every bit as pretty as Windermere but for some reason seems to have fewer visitors. Coniston has many items of interest, such as the home of the artist John Ruskin and the lake was the site of several speed records that were set by Malcolm Campbell and his son Donald. Donald was tragically killed during one of the attempts to set a new record. In addition, the popular children’s series, Swallows and Amazons, by Arthur Ransome was based on many features on and around Coniston. The island called Wildcat Island in the books is based on Peel Island in Consiton, and it’s possible to swim to Peel Island from the shore, or if a person is feeling less adventuresome, perhaps convince a local youth to ferry them over in a small boat.

The water is very cold most of the year, so swimming might not be the best choice! In addition to the lake, there are several peaks around the district that afford wonderful hiking trails, and the views from the tops are lovely (unless the fog has obscured everything of course). Fog on the fells can come in quickly and cause the hiker to become disoriented so it’s important to be aware of the weather and to be prepared in case of fog.

There are of course many colourful and interesting shops and restaurants in the area, but not all are open year round, so if you are there during the off season it’s best to check ahead if you have a particular spot in mind. There are also many lovely Bed and Breakfast establishments, many directly on the water and very reasonably priced, but the best digs have to be lake district cottages as these offer peace and a place to escape the other travellers. As an added treat, for the fans of Swallows and Amazons, the house that Arthur Ransome used as a basis for the farm where the Swallows stayed in the book is an actual farm which operates as a Bed and Breakfast on the bank of Coniston Water.

William Shakespeare has inspired people all over the World with his pen. The author that is unanimously considered one of the greatest bards of all time has served as the precursor to modern drama. So many amazing movies, television shows and even other theater works have been interpretations or adaptations of his stories, and there’s no way you can look at the history of drama without seeing him as a major cornerstone around which so much has been done.

Fans of the bard from all over the World like to come closer to his life and works by going to places where he lived and worked. This is what makes the rebuilt Globe Theatre so popular among tourists in London, for example. But it is also what brings a lot of people to Warwickshire, place where William Shakespeare was born.

And you don’t have to slum it up to experience it either. Luxury hotels Warwickshire have been popping up and everywhere and allow you to experience it all in comfort.

Hostels are intended for people who are looking for budget friendly accommodations who do not mind diminished privacy.  You should determine whether or not you are comfortable sleeping in a bunk bed surrounded by strangers with different sleeping habits and social attitude.  If you are not comfortable sharing a place with people you do not know, perhaps you should reconsider staying elsewhere.

Dining in hostels may not be a very delectable experience but there are some which serve really good food for a very reasonable price.  Some even has menus that accommodate special requests for certain dishes, subject of course to the availability of the necessary ingredients.  The key is to scout for the best hostel in the area.  It is a common misconception that staying in hostels should be an impulsive move. Before the actual travel, you should plan ahead as to which hostel you are to stay in.  Make a list of all the possible places you may end up in and look at which hostels are acceptable to you.  Remember to keep your standards low because these places are not meant for those looking for comfort and grandeur.  Set reasonable expectations and be prepared to adjust anytime to make your travel more enjoyable sans stress.
