At Bowness-on-Windermere you can catch a ferry across the lake to Far Sawrey on the west shore.
From there it’s a simple walk, bike ride or drive to this National Trust Property and former home of Beatrix Potter.
Hill Top dates to the 1600s and was bought as a writing retreat in 1906. The house has been kept as Potter would have remembered it, even reproducing the wallpaper that she put up when she moved in.
