Enjoy stunning drone footage of Coniston Water in the Lake District. Explore the beauty of this iconic English landscape from a bird's eye view!
Coniston is home to the Lake District's fifth-largest lake, making the water a popular spot for many world water speed record attempts through the ages. Racing motorist Sir Malcolm Campbell set the most famous record in 1939 at 141.74 miles (ca. 228 km).
On 4 January 1967, British speed record breaker Donald Campbell was preparing to smash his mark of 267mph (ca. 430 kilometres per hour) on water. He was aiming to push his record to over 300mph, which proved fatal. Mr Campbell was killed when Bluebird Somers salted on Coniston Water during the attempt.
