If you’ve read the book and seen the film then why not start your own family fun themed day taking the Coniston Launch to see all the areas that inspired Arthur Ranson to write the Swallows and Amazons tales. Start your adventure catching the Coniston launch to 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.
