Booths at Windermere, [which is next to a great big Lakeland!] is good, and convenient, which is more than can be said for Barrow, a long way out of your way.  Alternatively, try Kendal - also on your direct route - has Morrisons with cheap [ish] fuel, plus M&S plus,plus plus whatever you want.

Ambleside also ok for shops, especially of the 'walkers' variety.

Or pop-off the M6, south bound link to Preston and go to Sainsburys on the A6, easy access to/from M6.

Hi sue we too are going next weekend we will probably see you there. We always do our shop here at asda and take it with us, only there 3 days and the park coppice shop does bread and milk etc so we should manage without a shop.

Coniston lake is at the bottom of the site, 2 mins walk if you are pitched at the bottom 10 mins walk if pitched at the top. There is nothing at that lake there though, it's a 10 min car ride 25/30 min walk to boat hire and jetty etc. The village is a 10/15 min walk from the site for a couple of pubs etc.

Hope that helps, see you there

Oh great Donna hope to see you, we will be the ones arriving Sunday and being draggedaround by a puppy (not so little now) Rottweiller, he's a cutey though. Thanks for the info, we go Sunday to Sunday so expectm to take 1st few days stuff with us, but as you know there is only so much space in caravan fridges!

See you there, please say hello we will be pleased to see you.

Sue and Carl (and Bruno)

We'll be in the old compass echo with the 3 kids, 2 ours one borrowed. We are going saturday to monday. We too have a doggy with us you can see her on my gallery,

If you go to ambleside then over the kirkstone pass then down into penrith there is also a morrisons.  love coniston its my favourite place - am soo jealous

There is a fair few shops in Coniston that will sell erverything you will need, If we don't support the local shops then I'm affraid we will go to them one day and find they are no longer there.
