This attractive little 17th century house is where children's author Beatrix Potter wrote many of her popular Peter Rabbit tales.
The house contains personal effects, furniture, and china from Potter's time here, as well as original illustrations from the books that made her famous. More illustrations are available at the Beatrix Potter Gallery in Hawkshead, just 2 miles away. A small cottage garden is attached to the house and may be visited.
NOTE
The house is very small and is often crowded, particularly in the busy summer months. A timed entry system is in effect, and to guarantee entry you will have to pre-book. Visitors are especially advised to avoid visiting on school holidays!
