Rio is obviously based on the small towns of [[Bowness-on-Windermere]] and [[Windermere]], which share the same geographical layout with, for example, the railway station in Windermere, a short bus ride uphill from the steamer pier in Bowness. The name ''Bowness'' is mentioned in ''[[Winter Holiday]]'' by the smith: ''Did you hear Bill Bowness got right down to [[Low End]] on the ice and a wetting in the river and all, for trying to go too far'' ([[WD]]13). |
