Beatrix Potter's Lakeland and Wordsworth Tour

This tour is the ideal way to explore the favourite places associated with Beatrix Potter. We travel north alongside Lake Windermere to Waterhead and then to Wray Castle for photographs. This is where Beatrix spent many of her school holidays when she lived in London. From here we drive to her Hill Top farm, go into the shop, explore her garden and as an optional extra visit the house.

You will visit the medieval village of Hawkshead where you have time to explore this fascinating village. On our way to Coniston Water we drive through the renowned beauty spot of Tarn Hows where we stop for a photo. We board the ferry near Coniston for the lake cruise.

The tour continues through Yewdale, passing Yew Tree Tarn and Skelwith Bridge and back to Windermere and Bowness.
