Beatrix Potter Gallery, Hawkshead, Cumbria

Beatrix Potter Gallery

The gallery displays changing exhibits of the original sketches and watercolour illustrations created by Beatrix Potter for her children's stories.

The building that houses the gallery was once the office of Potter's husband William Heelis, and it has remained largely unaltered since his time. The Gallery is located only 2 miles from Potter's home at Hill Top, where she did most of her writing.
