Torver is a hamlet in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria three miles (5 km) south-west of the village of Coniston and a mile (0.5 km) to the west of Coniston Water (grid reference SD284941).
Farming has always played an important part in Torver's history, though slate mining increased when the Coniston branch of the Furness Railway was opened in the 19th century (it subsequently closed in 1958). Nowadays, the hamlet remains a starting point for many walks around the Duddon Valley and Coniston Water, an area popularised by William Wordsworth.
