I've stayed at Coniston Coppice a few times and it's the lovely trees and tucked-away "cul-de-sacs" that make it such a wonderful place to spend time. The notices around parts of the site explain about the programme of coppicing that is underway on the site in conjunction with the National Trust. I actually think that it's marvellous that the CMC and the NT have made this partnership and we are allowed access to such a lovely area of woodland. Some of us like the wild feel of Coniston, others prefer the groomed feel of the more regimented sites. I think the variety of sites in the CMC means that there is something for everyone. I'll be returning sometime soon!
