 | | The 250-acre estate, Brantwood, on Coniston Water's eastern shore, belonged to John Ruskin, a well-known Victorian painter, poet, and social commentator, who lived here from 1872 until his death in 1900. |
 | | The house itself was a large cottage when he bought it, but he further enlarged it, adding a turreted bedroom, dining room, studio, stables, coach house and servants' quarters. |
 | | Reach Brantwood by road, by the National Trust Steam Gondola, or by hiking from the village of Coniston. |
