Follow in the footsteps of Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons
This trail is ideal for the fans of Arthur Ransome. Here you can fish for a pike, climb a mountain and sail to Wild Cat Island. It is even possible to see the secret harbour. Coniston is breathtakingly beautiful and a wonderful place to spend a day soaking up the atmosphere. There is ample local camping and lots to see and do in the local area.
