I had little knowledge of Beatrix Potter's life (other than that she had written and illustrated cute children's books) before taking this tour. Our guide Tim did a terrific job of filling in the blanks and showing how important she was in the preservation of the Lake District. She was involved in many causes, all of them for the good. Because of her work, much of the area we saw on the tour was relatively unchanged from what was present during Potter's life. Tim also has a thorough knowledge of the history of the Lake District, including its growth as a vacation spot in the 19th Century. I can't explain now how he was able to convey so much information in a half-day. I highly recommend this tour.
