Guest: Sophie Neville starred in the 1974 Swallows and Amazons film
THE actress who starred in the children's classic film Swallows and Amazons is to return to one of her favourite locations in the Lake District.
Sophie Neville, who played the imaginative Titty Walker in the 1974 adaptation of the popular book, will stay at Elterwater Hostel as a guest of the staff.
She said: "Of all the days we spent filming, the fishing scene, shot in a reedy bay on Elterwater, was the one I enjoyed the most."
She's returning to the Lake District to take part in a marathon day-long reading of the Arthur Ransome story on the shore of Coniston Water next month.
