Hi - I'm currently seeking any information about this place (Ravnøe) I believe it to be an island in Norway somewhere?
Can anyone help with its location and background of the place as this is proving elusive to find online?

Many Thanks in a advance.

Chris

There is also a Ravnøy in Solund, Sogn og Fjordane. But in combination with Abrahamsen surname, I guess Ravnøy in Vestfold is the place.

Many Thanks for the combined info. It would seem that only half of the island is used for holiday homes? Either the rest is too rugged or it private or Govt. owned?
