The Lancaster and Morecambe area is widely regarded as the 'Gateway to the Lakes'. One of Britain's most beautiful regions, the South Lakes can easily be reached from the Lancaster area, by train, bus or car.

CELEBRATING CONISTON
Coniston-based authors Ibby Brown and Alistair Cameron have recently seen publication of The Story of Coniston from Trinity Press. A reprint is underconsideration.
The project has taken two years to complete and which has involved at least half of the Lakes village in one way or another.
Priced at £15.95, only 1000 copies have been printed. The 200-page book describes Coniston's history up to the present day and containing dozens of black and white and colour photographs.
Ibby is a member of the Lancaster University Writer's Workshop and has had work published locally.

If you would like to order the book please phone Ibby on 015394 41429 or drop her a line at 3 Vale View, Coniston. LA21 8EZ
