Winster

This charming hamlet has an old post office, originally built in the early 17th century as a cottage, that is much photographed. South from the village runs the Winster Valley, which provided Wordsworth with one of his favourite walks. It was at Low Ludderburn, a couple of miles to the south, that Arthur Ransome settled in 1925 and here that he wrote his classic children's novel Swallows and Amazons.

While living here, Ransome discovered the peaceful churchyard at Rusland and decided that was where he wanted to be buried. And when he died in 1967 that is indeed where he was interred, joined later by his second wife, Eugenia.
