Billeder af Beatrix Potter | Peter Rabbit's Lake District
Beskrivelse

Turen er en ideel måde at lære om en af de mest elskede skikkelser i britisk børnelitteraturs liv og værker. Turen inkluderer et besøg på Hill Top, det tidligere hjem for Beatrix Potter, hvor du kan udforske det charmerende sommerhus og smukke haver, der inspirerede mange af hendes elskede historier. Du vil også få mulighed for at besøge andre vartegn relateret til Potters liv og arbejde, hvilket giver en virkelig mindeværdig og informativ morgentur.

Rejseplan
Din morgen starter med et besøg på Wray Castle for spektakulære landskaber og udsigt over søen. Dette er sommerhuset, hvor Beatrix først blev forelsket i Lake District. Der vil være masser af tid til billeder.
På ferie besøgte Beatrix mange af de små landsbyer i området, og Near Sawrey blev hendes favorit. Denne landsby har mange af hendes "små bøger" illustrationer. Tower Bank Arms er straks genkendelig som stedet, hvor Kep, kolliehunden kigger efter de to rævhundhvalpe for at redde Jemima Puddle-duck. Du vil blive forbløffet, når du ser det, ligesom det er i bogen! En af årsagerne til, at Beatrix besøgte Near Sawrey så ofte, var, at der var ophold på en gård i forbindelse med ophold på ferie i området. Denne gård var Hill Top og er den ene Beatrix senere købt med overskuddet fra at offentliggøre Peter Rabbit. Hun besøgte ofte hendes 'sommerhus' Hill Top og skrev mange flere bøger her, som blev inspireret af folkene og stederne omkring hende i denne smukke del af England. Vi stopper ved Near Sawrey og Hill Top for at se de steder, der er så genkendelige i bøgerne og det sted, hvor Beatrix Potter boede. Tilmelding til Hill Top er inkluderet i prisen på denne tur. Din guide vil tage dig på en guidet tur gennem landsbyen for at vise dig faktiske steder illustreret i Beatrix bøger.
Tæt ved Hill Top er Esthwaite Water, hvor Beatrix vandrede mens hun hofte sin fremtidige mand, William Heelis. Dette var et yndlingssted for Beatrix, der troede det "de smukkeste af søerne".
Vi stopper nu i Hawkshead. Din guide vil tage dig på en tur rundt om denne middelalderlige landsby, der peger på alle de vigtige steder.
William Heelis var en advokat, der rådede Beatrix om hendes landankøb. Hans kontorer var i Hawkshead landsby. De er nu Beatrix Potter Gallery.
Beatrix købte en masse jord i Lake District og ejes skønhedspotet Tarn Hows. Her får du en billedmulighed her.
Coniston Water er den tredje største sø i Lake District og er den retfærdigste. Du vil have et kort stop her for at beundre udsigten og se den berømte fældning af Coniston Old Man tårnhøje over landsbyen og søen. Beatrix ejede også mange gårde i området, og når vi rejser ned ad Yewdale Valley tilbage til Ambleside, vil du se Yew Tree Farm, der er berømt som et sted i filmen "Miss Potter".

A wonderful tour with our driver and guide Tim. So much more to see, so informative , he new everything you needed to know about Beatrix Potter. Her house and grounds were full of amazing treasures. We Loved it. I recommend this tour, great memories. Thank you Tim.
If you wish to learn about Beatrix Potter's life, her wonderful characters & her inspirational work preserving the farming way of life in the Lakes District, this is the tour you need! Tim was so knowledgeable & took time explaining places. Loved the Hill Top Farm visit. Wonderful experience!
Mervyn, what a brilliant review — thank you! Tim really does love taking his time at each spot, properly sharing her life, her characters and that whole conservation story rather than rushing through it. Hill Top is the heart of the morning and we're so glad it felt that way for you too. Thanks so much for this — made our day!
We experienced an informative and educational tour that was entertaining as well. Our guide was very generous with sharing their knowledge and captivated our attention. We got to see more of the Lake District and to discover what makes this area so special and so important. The tour is good value for money. We felt that the duration of the tour was just right and got back in time for lunch. The tour group size is small, just a handful of us. The group is friendly and relaxed. You can be yourself and take your time. If you love to learn more about the history of this region you will live this tour.
So glad the morning struck that balance between informative and genuinely entertaining — that is exactly what we aim for. Discovering what makes this landscape so special, at a relaxed pace with a small group where you can really be yourself, is the heart of the experience. Glad the timing worked perfectly for lunch too. Thank you for such a thoughtful review.
Tim was excellent. He has a great way of setting the context and then pointing out th essentials of each location along the tour
Really glad Tim made the Beatrix Potter morning feel so well structured — the context first, then the details that make each location click into place. That approach is what turns a drive through beautiful countryside into a story you actually take home with you. Hope to see you again soon.
Best tour guide and driver ever. Learned so much about Beatrix Potter. You must go on this tour to get a deeper knowledge of one of England’s greatest artists writers and environmentalists.
Gael, "best tour guide and driver ever" is about as good as it gets — thank you, Tim will be delighted! Beatrix Potter the artist, the writer and the environmentalist all in one morning is exactly the depth we love giving people, and we are so glad it landed that way for you. Hope to welcome you back to the Lakes again soon.
Outstanding tour. Our guide, Tim, was fantastic. We learned so much about Beatrix Potter in a morning.
Judith, there is more to the Beatrix Potter story than most people expect — and Tim loves telling all of it. We are glad the morning came alive for you. She was a remarkable woman long before and long after Peter Rabbit. Hope to see you back in the Lakes again.
Pretty comprehensive tour of Beatrix Potter area. Scheduled to gain entry to Hill Top house. Many illustrated buildings pointed out in the area. Our guide, Tim, was extremely knowledgeable about B. Potter, history, and the area. Never could have done this on my own, and would have missed a lot. Definitely book for a tour of Beatrix Potter territory.
Lois, really glad the morning felt so comprehensive — timed entry to Hill Top and all those illustrated buildings pointed out along the way in the "little books" are exactly what makes Tim's tour so different from finding your own way round, the village comes to life! So much would have been missed without him, and we are glad you didn't have to. Thank you for such a thorough recommendation.
My tour was conducted by Tim. We were a small group, which was nice. The transport was comfortable, and I was glad to be travelling with an experienced driver on some very narrow roads! Tim is very knowledgeable and has a lovely way of highlighting places that appear in Beatrix Potter's books. He allowed plenty of time for us to browse at stops and to take photos. This was a very enjoyable tour of which Hilltop was the highlight.
Thank you — a small group does make a big difference, everyone gets to have a chat and the pace is more relaxed, especially as the buses are nice and comfy. Really glad Hill Top was the highlight. Tim has a wonderful way of connecting the buildings and the landscapes to the actual pages of the books, and once you have seen it you cannot unsee it. We hope you make it back to the Lakes again — there is always more to find
We had a wonderful time on this tour. Tim was very friendly and blew us away with his knowledge of Beatrice Potter and her life in the Lakes District. His stories and knowledge as he drove us around this beautiful area was awesome. I never realised just how interesting she was and what she did for the area's conservation. The van was comfy, Tim was great, Beatrix Potter's scenery was breathtaking and we got to see where Tom Kitten and Jemmima Puddleduck lived. What a morning!
Lukas, "I never realised just how interesting she was" — that is exactly what we hope people take home from that morning. Beatrix Potter the conservationist, the scientist, the farmer, the businesswoman — Tim loves telling the whole story. And yes, Tom Kitten and Jemima Puddle-Duck's landscapes are every bit as good in real life. Really glad you had such a wonderful morning.
With commentary on Potter's life, her work and her contributions to the Lake District, we were able to efficiently go around the spots in a limited amount of time. All the Grasmere Gingerbread treats are amazing and I'm so happy to drop by. Maximum thanks to our guide Tim!
Thank you so much — really glad the morning gave you the full Beatrix Potter story alongside the scenery. And the Grasmere Gingerbread is non-negotiable — we are glad you got to stop. Tim will be delighted. Hope to welcome you back to the Lakes one day.
