Hill Top Farm near Sawrey Hawkshead the Lake District


Once home to Beatrix Potter, Hill Top farm is one of the most popular attractions in the Lake District. Potter wrote and illustrated many of her famous children´s stories at Hill Top, and she owned the 12th Century farmhouse for 38 years. The house is exactly how she left it, complete with furniture and china, and it gives visitors a fascinating insight into her life and work in the Lake District. The house is two miles south of Hawkshead, near Sawrey. Potter left her house to the National Trust when she died, on the proviso that it was kept as she left it. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-hilltop
