Hill Top Beatrix Potter’s Home

Main St, Near Sawrey, Hawkshead, Ambleside, LA22 0LF
Things To Do
0 Favorite

Hill Top was Beatrix Potter’s most beloved place, packed full of her favourite things and left just as she wanted it for visitors to enjoy. You will see why she loved it so much and used it and the surrounding countryside as inspiration for many of her famous children’s tales.

Your visit helps the National Trust continue her work to look after the Lake District. After Beatrix bought the Hill Top she busied herself writing more books, and visiting her farm.

In 1909 she bought another farm opposite Hill Top, Castle Farm, which became her main Lakeland base.

Beatrix wrote many of her famous children’s stories in this little 17th century stone house. Characters such as Tom Kitten, Samuel Whiskers and Jemima Puddleduck were all created here, and the books contain many pictures based on the house and garden.
