Coniston Water is a historically important site in the realm of world-record speed attempts and this cruise covers the exact routes and history of the heroic daredevils who risked and, tragically, lost it all in an attempt to make history.

This 90 minute cruise follows the routes of Sir Malcom and Donald Campbell's speed record attempts.

This cruise includes a comprehensive talk about the world record speed attempts that had taken place on Coniston Water from the late 1930's to the mid 1960's as well as more recent events.

Take a look at Pier Cottage, where the famous Bluebird K7 hydroplane was kept during most of the world record attempts. The cruise also follows the route of the heroic Donald Campbell and his ultimately fatal bid to go faster than 300mph on Coniston Water.
