Neville's Island

By Tim Firth

Neville's Island is a fast-talking, fast action comedy telling the story of four middle aged businessmen, sent on a team building exercise in England's Lake District, who succeed in being the first people to find themselves shipwrecked inland!

"Neville's Island" was adapted into a film in 1998 starring Timothy Spall and Martin Clunes.

Rampsholme is the smallest of the four islands on Derwentwater and derives its name from the wild garlic that thrives on it. The word comes from the Old Norse ‘Hrafns holmr’ or ‘wild garlic island’.
