Il tuo pomeriggio inizia con una visita al castello di Wray per uno scenario spettacolare e una vista sul lago. Questa è la casa delle vacanze in cui Beatrix si innamorò per la prima volta del Lake District.
Close by Hill Top è Esthwaite Water, dove Beatrix camminava mentre corteggiava il suo futuro marito, William Heelis. Questo era il posto preferito da Beatrix che lo riteneva "il più bello dei laghi".
Mentre era in vacanza, Beatrix visitò molti dei piccoli villaggi della zona e Near Sawrey divenne la sua preferita. Questo villaggio è presente in molte delle sue illustrazioni di "piccoli libri". Il Tower Bank Arms è immediatamente riconoscibile come il luogo in cui Kep, il cane collie, va alla ricerca dei due cuccioli di volpe per salvare Jemima Puddle-duck. Sarai stupito quando lo vedrai, esattamente come nel libro! Uno dei motivi per cui Beatrix visitava Near Sawrey così spesso era perché durante il soggiorno in zona, il cocchiere di Potter e la sua famiglia si trovavano in una fattoria lì. Quella fattoria era Hill Top ed è quella che Beatrix in seguito acquistò con i profitti della pubblicazione di Peter Rabbit. Frequentava spesso la sua "casa per le vacanze" Hill Top e scriveva molti altri libri qui che erano ispirati dalla gente e dai luoghi intorno a lei in questa bellissima parte dell'Inghilterra. Ci fermiamo a Near Sawrey e Hill Top per farti vedere i luoghi che sono così riconoscibili nei libri e nel luogo in cui visse Beatrix Potter. L'ingresso a Hill Top è incluso nel prezzo di questo tour. La nostra guida ti accompagnerà in una breve passeggiata attraverso il villaggio, indicando le varie località usate da Beatrix nei suoi libri.
Qui William Heelis aveva il suo ufficio legale e ben noto a Beatrix Potter.

Tim is an outstanding tour guide, highly knowledgeable and funny as well! Our tour ended up being just our family of four which made the experience feel like a truly private experience which was very memorable! The vehicle was small enough that we were able to go places most tours can't reach, and to places we never would have thought to drive ourselves. Highly recommended!
What a lovely review — thank you! A family of four with Tim all to yourselves, in a vehicle small enough to reach the places most tours simply can't get to — that really is the best of both worlds - what fun! Really glad it felt so memorable and personal throughout. Thanks so much for the recommendation!
Tim is an outstanding tour guide, highly knowledgeable and fun as well! The tour ended up being just our family of four which made the experience even more enjoyable and had the feeling of a truly private and custom tour. Highly recommend!
James, what a brilliant review — thank you! A family of four with Tim all to yourselves is honestly one of the best ways to do it — all the knowledge, all the fun and the whole afternoon completely at your own pace. We love hearing when it feels like a truly private experience, because that's exactly what it should be! Thanks so much for the recommendation!
We had a wonderful tour with a lot of interesting information. The landscape is truly breathtaking.
Really glad the afternoon was such a wonderful one and that the information came through so well alongside that landscape. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this!
A fab, interesting afternoon with our very friendly informative guide Tim. We travelled as a small group in great comfort and seeing and hearing everything was excellent, no crowds! Hill Top farm was a highlight and Tim showing us the exact places in the books' illustrations made the tour come alive. The boat rounded it all off in style. Thanks Tim for a wonderful afternoon.
Really glad the afternoon felt so relaxed and personal — no crowds and a small group is exactly what makes Hill Top special rather than just busy. Tim showing you the exact spots from the illustrations is one of our favourite moments on that tour, and it is something that we have been doing for the past eight years and is unique to us. We are so glad it brought the whole afternoon to life. The boat trip is always a lovely way to round it off. Thank you for such a warm review.
This was such an amazing tour and way to spend half a day in this beautiful area. Locally owned and women owned business!!!! This experience was fantastic!!!! Do not hesitate to book.
Abby, thank you so much — this made our day. We love what we do and it means everything when that comes across. Local, independent, and right here in the Lakes. We hope the afternoon gave you something lovely to take home. Come back and see us again.
Tim, the tour guide, knowledge was excellent. Tim provided a friendly environment where we could ask questions. The tour of the area and Beatrix homes are exceptional and to have the freedom to walk around Top House was fun, especially hunting for the ten mice! Highly recommend this adventure.
Alan, the ten mice catch a lot of people out — it is one of our favourite things about Hill Top. Beatrix hid things in that house the same way she hid them in her illustrations, and finding them takes the kind of unhurried time that a small group makes possible. Really glad Tim made the afternoon feel relaxed and the questions welcome. Thank you for spending it with us.
We got to tick off three iconic things from our Lake District bucket list on this tour. 1. We visited Beatrix Potter's Hill Top Farm and saw where she actually lived and wrote some of her great children's books. We were taken through the village and Tim, our guide showed us exactly where she must have stood when she drew the illustrations. Very exciting! 2. We saw some spectacular scenery and the countryside which inspired her to write her books. I can understand now why this place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and she saved so much of this beautiful landscape for future generations by giving it to the National Trust! 3. We got to sail on a big boat on Lake Windermere which was a fun way to end the afternoon. This is an all round really good package with the price of entry to Hill Top and the Windermere Lake Cruise all bundled into the price. We booked well in advance to make sure that we got our seats because these are very, very popular tours and can sell out. My advice is to go with this tour because you get a bit of everything, its great value for money, the people are really friendly and the pickup point at Windermere station is a perfect location if you are arriving by train or staying in Windermere itself. Really, this is the best!
Leon, you described that afternoon better than we could. Three things ticked off and all three of them the right ones — Hill Top itself, the landscape that shaped the books, and a sail on Windermere to finish. Your advice to book early is spot on too; the afternoon tour fills up fast and we would hate for anyone to miss it. Thank you for such a generous review. It will help a lot of people make a decision they will be very glad they made.
Really enjoyed our driver/narrator Tim. He made the journey worthwhile with his stories about Beatrix. He has a great sense of humor too! The boat ride was smooth and pleasant!
Sandy, really glad Tim's stories and his sense of humour made the whole afternoon so enjoyable — that combination is exactly what makes the journey as good as the destinations. Glad the boat ride rounded it off so well too. Thank you for such a nice review.
Our tour guide, Tim, gave us a wonderful experience on the Beatrix Potter tour...we've been in the Lake District before but Tim's affable manner and extensive knowledge made our trip especially enjoyable. He was great!
Marvin, coming back to the Lakes and finding something new in it — that is what Tim does best. The story gets deeper every time you look at it. Really glad it made the trip especially enjoyable. Hope to see you again.
A great day tour about Beatrix Potter, Hill Top was splendid with the cottage and gardens. Wray Castle was very nice and the scenery was spectacular.
Thank you — Hill Top, Wray Castle and the scenery all in one afternoon is a very full and satisfying few hours. Really glad it delivered. Hope to welcome you back to the Lakes one day.
