One of the most beautifully situated houses in the country, Brantwood is both a vibrant centre for the arts and a historic house.

The house overlooks Coniston Water amid 250 acres of gardens designed and built by Ruskin himself. You can take in the mountain views from the house and The Terrace Coffee House and Restaurant.

Filled with many fine paintings and beautiful furniture, the house retains the character of its famous resident. From mid-March, marvel at some of the finest crystalline treasures in the all new geology display.

Children’s house and garden trails are available during the holidays. 

Always a friendly welcome to dogs in the gardens and at The Terrace.
