A beloved authoress known for her petite tomes filled with charming stories and watercolor illustrations, Beatrix Potter’s talents and interests extended widely beyond children’s literature. An avid farmer, she coupled this love with a vision for conservation—becoming an active force in the preservation of the Lake District in England. Her legacy lives on in the northwest region of Cumbria.
Are these 2 separate houses? Was wondering if the top house is the one she lived in after married to Heelis and the bottom one Yew Tree.
What a wealth of history, and beauty that adds grace to all who share in her stories. I was a big collector of all the figurines when my daughter Hannah was born and her delight in sharing in story time was treasured.
Such a beautiful quiet life of soulful beauty here. So happy to know that the land and her legacy will go on for many many years of growing up in her wonderful world of creature friends of wild.

Such a beautiful, quaint, and contemplative place to visit…
Although I always loved her books and illustrations as a child AND adult, it was only after I learned of her love for the land, farming, and the animals that I became so enthralled with Beatrix.
What a wonderful artist, farmer, and conservationist !
God bless !
