Brantwood House & Gardens

The 250 acre woodland estate, with 8 unique gardens, has fantastic views and some interesting plant collections.

During the summer holidays there are guided garden walks on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, included in the entry price. John Ruskin’s former home, set in stunning location overlooking Coniston Water, gives a fascinating insight into the life of a man who was the leading English art critic of the Victorian era, as well as a prominent social thinker and philanthropist.
