High Yewdale, Cumbria is close to the village
of Coniston and Brantwood, home of  artist
John Ruskin from 1872 until his death in
1900. The stream in the foreground is Tom
Gill. It drains the scenic Tarn Hows and
cascades down to Glen Mary bridge, named by
Ruskin who felt that Tom Gill required a more
picturesque name. The Ruskin Museum in
Coniston tells the story of Coniston from
the Stone Age onwards and provides an intro-
duction to Conistonīs two blue-eyed boys,
John Ruskin and Donald Campbell, who broke
seven world records, four on Coniston Water.
Author Beatrix Potter left her High Yewdale
Farm to the National Trust when she died.
