The National Trust in the North West

Welcome to the North West region of the National Trust, comprising the Lake District and Cumbria, Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside, and Greater Manchester.

Visit Hill Top, the home of Beatrix Potter and the inspiration for her stories, take in the beauty of the Derwentwater, look out for red squirrels on the windswept coast of Formby and explore the secret garden at Quarry Bank Mill.

With the childhood homes of the Beatles in Liverpool, capital of culture for 2008, and William Wordsworth's birthplace in Cockermouth, the North West has it all!
