The allure of Beatrix Potter!


Peter Rabbit and his friends are a great people puller to the Cumbrian Tourist industry, I have to say each visit to Keswick means a trip to one of the many attractions and a visit to one of the high street shop. One of our favourite places was the World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness. It was a magical place, restricted to 20 or so each intake you walk around he exhibit been dazzled by the workmanship of the displays and also to see if you can see any treasures in amidst the displays. My daughter loves to sit next to Mrs Tiggy Winkles who is always busy doing the laundry.

Another attraction that was worth the visit was Hill Top Farm. This is a National Trust property, so armed with a membership card we paid a visit. The tour guides were great, they showed my daughter the holes that Samuel Whiskers made, and the teeth marks he put into the rolling pin when making the kitten into a pie.
