Exploring Torver and Beyond
Just half a mile from the cottage Hollace, the small village of Torver welcomes you with its charming atmosphere. For those willing to venture a bit further, a short 3-mile drive or walk takes you to the bustling village of Coniston. You can walk along the old railway line track that transported slate, copper, and later tourists back in the day. This track is perfect for a dog walk.
