Welcome to The Black Bull Inn and Hotel, Coniston, United Kingdom. The Black Bull Inn and Hotel was built around 400 years ago, about the time of the Spanish armada. It was used as a coaching Inn providing accommodation for both travellers, coachmen and horses. The Inn is situated in the pictureque village of Coniston, beside the beck and in the shadow of the 'Old Man' mountain. The Big Toe of the Old Man is a large piece of stone set in the wall of the Black Bull residents lounge.

Many famous people have passed through these portals and enjoyed its hospitality - Turner the artist, Coleridge, De Quincy on his way to meet William Wordsworth amd more recently Donald Cambell, when attempting his water speed records. The film 'Across the Lake' staring Anthony Hopkins, depicting the last 60 days of Campbell's life, also used The Black Bull Inn and Hotel as a venue.
