Walking from Monk Coniston - Levers Water

I walked up to the Miners Bridge as described on the page here for the walk to the Old Man of Coniston :

I crossed the Miners Bridge to be on the right of the stream:

The white building is the YHA at the Coppermines:

At the Coppermines there are remnants of the industrial history.

I could have gone up to Levers Water on the path to the right of the mine works:

Instead I went to the left of the buildings:

I followed the stream up and there is a path to the right, just before Paddy End Works:

The final bit up to Levers Water, by the steam, involves a bit of scrambling and the route is not obvious:

I went down by a different path. This path goes by old mine workings:

About This Site

Here is some information I have gathered together about getting to and walking from HF houses when leaving the car at home. On these pages I have also put some history about former HF houses I have visited.

The information here is based on my visits to HF houses over the years. It may be out of date so don't rely on anything here without checking. If you find any errors why not let others know by putting a post on the HF Holiday Fans ( unofficial) Facebook forum. I will try to quote such posts here so they don't get lost.

This is information I have discovered over the years which would have been useful to know before. Unfortunately the travel information on the HF website, for getting to houses by public transport, is poor. I think it would be better if the information on this page were on the HF website.
