  • Wray Castle, Ambleside, United Kingdom
    Your morning starts with a visit to Wray Castle for spectacular scenery and lake views. This is the holiday home where Beatrix first fell in love with the Lake District. There will be plenty of time for photos.
    15 minutes
  • Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's House, Hawkshead, United Kingdom
    While on holiday, Beatrix visited many of the small villages in the area and Near Sawrey became her favourite. This village features in many of her "little books" illustrations. The Tower Bank Arms is immediately recognisable as the place where Kep, the collie-dog goes looking for the two fox-hound puppies to rescue Jemima Puddle-duck. You will be amazed when you see it, exactly like it is in the book! One of the reasons why Beatrix visited Near Sawrey so often was because while staying on holiday in the area, the Potter's coachman and his family were lodging at a farm there. That farm was Hill Top and is the one Beatrix later bought with the profits from publishing Peter Rabbit. She often visited her 'holiday home' Hill Top and wrote many more books here which were inspired by the people and the places around her in this beautiful part of England. We stop at Near Sawrey and Hill Top for you to see the locations which are so recognisable in the books and the place where Beatrix Potter lived. Entry to Hill Top IS included in the price of this tour. Your guide will take you on a guided walk through the village to show you actual places illustrated in Beatrix's books.
    40 minutes
  • Esthwaite water trout fishery, Hawkshead, United Kingdom
    Close by Hill Top is Esthwaite Water where Beatrix walked while courting her future husband, William Heelis. This was a favourite spot for Beatrix who thought it "the most beautiful of the Lakes".
  • Hawkshead Grammar School Museum, Hawkshead, United Kingdom
    We now stop off in Hawkshead. Your guide will take you on a walking tour around this medieval village pointing out all of the important locations.
    25 minutes
  • Beatrix Potter Gallery, Hawkshead, United Kingdom
    William Heelis was a solicitor who advised Beatrix about her land purchases. His offices were in Hawkshead village. They are now the Beatrix Potter Gallery.
  • Tarn Hows, Coniston, United Kingdom
    Beatrix bought a lot of land in the Lake District and owned the beauty spot Tarn Hows. Here you will have a photo opportunity here.
    10 minutes
  • Coniston Water, Coniston, United Kingdom
    Coniston Water is the third largest lake in the Lake District and is the straightest. You will have a short stop here to admire the view and see the famous fell of Coniston Old Man towering over the village and the lake. Beatrix also owned a lot of farms in the area and as we travel down the Yewdale Valley back to Ambleside, you will see Yew Tree Farm, famous as a location in the film "Miss Potter".

I had a chance to do the Beatrix Potter tour in June 2024. Traveling alone can be uneasy, but the tour operator was remarkably friendly and made it very easy. After getting picked up at the Windermere train station we were on our way! Throughout our journey I was remarkably impressed at how knowledgeable the tour guide was. He really demonstrated expert insight into the life and writings of Beatrix Potter. I was particularly impressed with how he pointed out specific places that are highlighted in her books. During our travels he went above and beyond to ensure everyone’s comfort. Thank you for an excellent experience!! This was certainly one of the best highlights of my two week trip!

Guide was very knowledgeable and even showed Beatrice Potter books to demonstrate the specific sites she drew in her books. Learned a lot about her that I didn’t know and saw many beautiful sites.
