The family of the author Arthur Ransome regularly holidayed at Nibthwaite when he was a child, and he incorporated local places and customs into the five of his Swallows and Amazons series of children's books which were set in the Lake District, around a lake based on both Coniston Water and Windermere.[1][2]
