Although it is named after John Ruskin, 19th-polymath and conservation pioneer, the Ruskin Museum also focuses on Arthur Ransome, author of Swallows and Amazons, and ‘Speed Ace’ Donald Campbell. As well as impressive displays on all three men and their connections to the lake, you can find out about the area’s archaeology, geology, folklore, industry and wildlife.
