name of the island in swallows and amazons
Swallows and Amazons According to Ransome, every place in his book can be found in the Lake District, but he took different locations and placed them in different ways: the lake is a fictionalised version of Windermere but the surrounding countryside more closely resembles that around Coniston.[6] Wild Cat Island, the location of the island camp, has elements from Peel Island in Coniston and Blake Holme (or Blakeholme) in Windermere.[7] Holly Howe, the farmhouse where the Swallows stay, is based on Bank Ground Farm,[8] which exists to this day. It was featured in the 1974 film.
