Ruskin Museum
The museum covers the local history of Coniston, Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) author of the Swallows and Amazons, Donald Campbell (1921- 1967), and John Ruskin (1819 - 1900). The museum was founded in 1901 by the artist W. G. Collingwood, who had worked closely with Ruskin. From 9th March 2024, Campbell's Bluebird K7 is being permanently displayed in the Bluebird wing of the museum, alongside its original engine (the K7 jet craft recovered from Coniston Water in 2001 and restored to working order by North Shield engineer Bill Smith).
