Lake District, Beatrix Potter Half-Day Tour


Mountain Goat Tours


Explore the favorite countryside of Beatrix Potter on a half-day tour including a lake cruise on Windermere, Tarn Hows and entrance to Hill Top House or The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction.


Windermere



Surround yourself with the scenery that inspired Beatrix Potter's enchanting tales during a half-day tour of the Lake District National Park. Visit the author's home and explore the medieval Hawkshead and the scenic Tarn Hows.

Start by making your way to Hill Top, the 17th-century home that Beatrix Potter used as an artistic retreat. Stroll through the charming garden, home to various flowers and which featured in several of her little stories.

~Please note, Hill Top House is closed on Fridays out of the UK school holidays and from November-February. In this case you will visit the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in Bowness, here you will discover more of the authors life and about the characters she created.

After exploring Miss Potter’s extraordinary house, continue to the medieval village of Hawkshead, and get some time to explore the fascinating village. Drive through the renowned beauty spot of Tarn Hows.

Conclude with a lake cruise offering unrivaled views of the mountains.
