Brantwood is one of the most stunningly situated houses in Britain. Overlooking Coniston Water, this former home of the artist, writer and visionary John Ruskin is a unique place, filled with exquisite watercolours and many fascinating objects. A video provides a comprehensive introduction to the life and work of Ruskin. Outside, displays include Ruskin's coach, boat and ice-house. Glorious woodland walks and lakeside gardens. Events and exhibitions run all year.
