Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's House, Hawkshead, United Kingdom Set in the tiny village of Sawley, Hill Top is a time capsule of this amazing woman’s life. Full of her favourite things, the house appears as if Beatrix had just stepped out for a walk. Every room contains a reference to a picture in a ‘Tale’. Beatrix used Hill Top and its surroundings as inspiration for many of her ‘little books’ – you’ll recognise the rhubarb patch where Jemima Puddle-Duck laid her egg and the garden where Tom Kitten and his sisters played!
Due to its humble size, Hill Top can at times be a little crowded and entry is by a timed-entry system as well as being closed at times during the winter and on Fridays for conversation work. 80 minutes
Beatrix Potter Gallery, Hawkshead, United Kingdom In the picturesque village of Hawkshead we will visit the Beatrix Potter Gallery. Once you step inside this charming old building to enjoy an exhibition of Beatrix Potter’s original drawings and watercolours. A visit here provides not just the chance to admire her delightful artwork but also the opportunity to learn more about her life outside the writing career which made her famous. Learn more about Beatrix as a farmer and conservationist, and how her legacy helped to keep the Lake District as we know today. This gallery has an interesting history too, because it was previously the office of Beatrix’s husband, William Heelis, plus it gives a rare opportunity to see inside one of Hawkshead’s old buildings. 80 minutes
