Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By:
Windermere, Windermere, Lake District, Cumbria, England
This is one of our pickup points
Stop At:
Wray Castle, Low Wray, Ambleside LA22 0JA England
Your afternoon 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.
Duration: 15 minutes
Pass By:
Esthwaite water trout fishery, The Boathouse Ridding Wood, Hawkshead, Ambleside England
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".
Stop At:
Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's House, Near Sawrey, Near Sawrey LA22 0LF England
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.
Our guide will take you on a short walk through the village, pointing out the various locations Beatrix used in her books.
