Wray Castle
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.
Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's House
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.

5.00This tour was outstanding! The scenery was gorgeous. Tim our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable regarding the area and Beatrix Potter. There was so much more to her life story than I could have imagined.
Trip of a lifetime

5.00All-in tour suitable for beginners of Lake District and Beatrix Potter. Excellent guide and driver made the tour even more spectacular. Weather was also perfect (it started raining when the tour ended, though). Really enjoyed this 4-hour tour!
Great for someone who wants to better understand the Lake District.

5.00I 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.

5.00We were looking for something to do just for a morning and found this tour which was absolutely perfect. Trawling the reviews for tours to Hill Top, we found this one and decided to book it because a previous review for this company aid you get VIP treatment. They were right! We did too and had a lovely morning learning about Beatrix Potter and her life. The places we went to were lovely and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. We would certainly use this company again. Thanks xx
