Coniston Swallows and Amazons cruise
Enjoy a cruise for those who are familiar with the Swallows and Amazons stories! Arthur Ransome used many places around Coniston Water to populate the imaginary lake of his books. Enjoy this 90-minute cruise and discover these places including Wild Cat Island.
Of course, there is no lake exactly similar to the one that Ransome used for his children’s adventures, but he did use real locations for the places that he worked into his stories. On Coniston Water, you'll see Beckfoot, Holly Howe, Kanchenjunga, Wild Cat Island, the Amazons’ boathouse, and a host of other spots that Ransome used to create his fascinating world. Coniston Water was used as one of the filming locations for both the 1974 and 2016 films Swallows and Amazons.
