Is Coniston and Coniston water in Westmoreland, or Cumbria?

In the case of the new unitarian political counties, where is it now?

Rather than reply to the many posters, I am going to answer my own post.

A very many thanks to all who answered what I thought would be a simple
question. It looks like it turned out to be a lot more complex than I
thought.

No, it turned out to be a poorly-worded question. "Which historic
(i.e., pre-1974) county _were_ Coniston and Coniston Water in? Was it
Westmorland, Cumberland, Lancashire or Yorkshire? Following Local
Government reorganisation of the last two decades, are they in a
Unitary Authority or a County, and which one?"

Or you could have spent thirty seconds on Wikipedia.
