Beatrix Potter is intimately associated with the Lake District, the area that not only inspired her to write many of her little tales so beloved by generations of children, but also the area she made her home, farmed and sought to preserve. Spectacular mountain scenery, beautiful lakes, cascading waterfalls are all waiting to be discovered. Follow in Beatrix Potters footsteps by visiting Hilltop, her home and garden, admire her original artwork, learn about her work as an environmentlist and benefactor of the National Trust.

 A visit to Hilltop farm is a highlight of this tour but lovers of Beatrix Potter know that her world extended throughout the Lake District, from Sawrey, Hawkshead, Yewdale and Tarn Hows in South Lakeland to Newlands and Derwentwater in the north and to the head of the Troutbeck Valley in the east. This most comprehensive Lake District tour not only visits places associated with Beatrix Potter, her delightful characters, her farms and locations featured in the "Miss Potter" movie but also includes a lake cruise on Coniston Water and some of the most beautiful lakes and spectacular mountain scenery the area has to offer. With frequent stops throughout the day for photographs and short walks, this tour is the ideal way to enjoy the landscape that Beatrix Potter so loved and sought to preserve.
