Itinerário
Sua manhã começa com uma visita ao Wray Castle para paisagens espetaculares e vista para o lago. Esta é a casa de férias onde Beatrix se apaixonou pela primeira vez no Lake District. Haverá muito tempo para fotos.
Durante as férias, Beatrix visitou muitas das pequenas aldeias da região e Near Sawrey tornou-se sua favorita. Esta aldeia apresenta em muitos dos seus "pequenos livros" ilustrações. O Tower Bank Arms é imediatamente reconhecível como o lugar onde Kep, o cão collie, procura os dois filhotes de raposa para resgatar Jemima Puddle-duck. Você ficará surpreso ao vê-lo exatamente como está no livro! Uma das razões pelas quais Beatrix visitou Near Sawrey com tanta frequência foi porque, enquanto passava férias na região, o cocheiro do Potter e sua família estavam hospedados em uma fazenda lá. Aquela fazenda foi Hill Top e é a que Beatrix mais tarde comprou com os lucros da publicação de Peter Rabbit. Ela costumava visitar o Hill Top de sua casa de férias e escreveu muitos outros livros aqui que foram inspirados pelas pessoas e lugares ao redor dela nesta linda parte da Inglaterra. Nós paramos em Near Sawrey e Hill Top para você ver os locais que são tão reconhecíveis nos livros e o lugar onde Beatrix Potter viveu. A entrada para o Hill Top está incluída no preço deste passeio. Seu guia irá levá-lo em uma caminhada guiada pela vila para mostrar lugares reais ilustrados nos livros de Beatrix.
Perto de Hill Top está Esthwaite Water, onde Beatrix caminhava enquanto cortejava seu futuro marido, William Heelis. Este foi um local favorito para Beatrix, que achou "o mais bonito dos lagos".
Agora paramos em Hawkshead. Seu guia irá levá-lo em um passeio a pé por esta vila medieval, apontando todos os locais importantes.
William Heelis era um advogado que aconselhava Beatrix sobre suas compras de terras. Seus escritórios ficavam na aldeia de Hawkshead. Eles são agora a Beatrix Potter Gallery.
Beatrix comprou muitas terras em Lake District e era proprietária do local de beleza Tarn Hows. Aqui você terá uma oportunidade de foto aqui.
Coniston Water é o terceiro maior lago no Lake District e é o mais reto. Você terá uma pequena parada aqui para admirar a vista e ver a famosa queda de Coniston Old Man, que se ergue sobre a vila e o lago. A Beatrix também possuía muitas fazendas na área e, enquanto viajamos pelo vale de Yewdale de volta a Ambleside, você verá a Yew Tree Farm, famosa como local no filme "Miss Potter".

A very good small tour experience. The guide was knowledgeable, and provided lots of information. Pointed out sights sometimes missed, and painted a well rounded picture of the life of Beatrix, and the key people who were an influence on her life. Tour was well paced, thoroughly enjoyable experience
"Bewitched by Beatrix" — we love that title. The things most visitors walk straight past are often the most interesting, and a well rounded picture of her life as well as the magic of her the books is exactly what Tim sets out to give. Really glad the morning felt so well paced and enjoyable.
The guide was very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the Beatrix Potter home and the surrounding area. It was one of our highlights on our visit to the Lakes District.
Georges, thank you! Hill Top is one of those places that just stays with you, and the surrounding countryside and villages are every bit as special — Beatrix Potter knew exactly what she was doing when she chose to make her life here. Really pleased it was one of the highlights of your trip — that means a lot to us.
Another great tour with English Lakes Tours after the Brontes. I thought Beatrix Potter just wrote children's books. I was wrong. I learned much more about her on the tour with our extremely knowledgable guide (and small group). She was a powerhouse when it wasn't common for women. She was brilliant: an activist, an environmentalist, a botanist, a philanthropist, a farmer, and much more, which you will learn about on the tour. We also drove thorough beautiful areas of the the Lake District. I highly recommend this tour.
Two days with us and two completely different stories — what a way to spend your time in the Lakes! "A powerhouse when it wasn't common for women" is such a perfect description of Beatrix Potter, and you discovered exactly what the tour is designed to reveal — the activist, the environmentalist, the botanist, the philanthropist, the farmer, all wrapped up in the woman most people only know from the children's books. Tim loves telling that story and it sounds like it came through brilliantly. The spectacular Lake District landscape as the backdrop makes the whole morning even more special. Thank you so much for coming back to us — and for such a generous recommendation!
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.
Gillian, so glad Tim made the morning such a rich one — there really is so much to discover about Beatrix Potter, and Hill Top never disappoints. Really pleased you loved it and came away with such good memories. We'll pass your thanks straight on to 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.
