There is anothe webcam at Bank Ground Farm (Holly Howe) that also brings the
Ransome World he drew in words to become even more real and more easily
appreciated, with the magnificence and beauty of that area now so easily available.

You can select views. One of them is called 'Swallows and Amazons' which is an absolutely accurate description, as it is a view of the field up which Roger tacks in the opening page of SA. You can almost see Mrs Walker waiting for him by the gate at the top. Very, very evocative.
There's also a nice workaday site which shows the western terminal of the ferry from Bowness. It's a live stream, although not a large image.
