Miss Potter - Day 2

Tarn Hows (Hawkshead)

Start your day with a trip to Tarn Hows (www.lake-district.gov.uk/index/enjoying/outdoors/miles_without_stiles/mileswithoutstiles_2-18.htm), a highly visited site that once belonged to Beatrix Potter. Walk the 1.5 mile (2.4 km) path around the tarn and take in the thick woodland and views towards Helvellynn Range and Langdale Pikes. Beatrix donated this land to the National Trust, who look after it.

Must see and do:

World of Beatrix Potter (Bowness-on-Windermere)

Take a trip to Bowness-on-Windermere, just south of Hawkshead, and pay a visit to Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck, Mrs Tiggy-winkle and their friends at the World of Beatrix Potter (www.hop-skip-jump.com/ ). Here you’ll see 23 of Potter’s story in 3-dimentional exhibits featuring her most famous and loveable characters.

Must see and do:

Glass House Hotel (Ambleside)
