Is Coniston and Coniston water in Westmoreland, or Cumbria?


Well as Westmoorland (note spelling) hasn't existed as a County since
1974, Coniston is in South Lakland, Cumbria.


Lakeland?

I have many ancestors from Westmorland so I still prefer to
differentiate Westmorland from Cumberland for my family tree.
