Beatrix Potter's original artwork on display in a 17th-century house
Our gardens, parks, cafés, shops, countryside locations and many houses are open. You no longer need to pre-book at many places. Some still require booking ahead, so please check the property webpage before you travel.
The Beatrix Potter Gallery displays original items from our National Trust collection in this year's exhibition 'Friendship by Post'. For anyone who has ever been enchanted by Beatrix’s endearing characters, the gallery is the place to go to marvel at these miniature masterpieces up-close.
This unique space occupies a 17th-century building which served as the office of Beatrix's solicitor husband. For a perfect day out, follow in Beatrix Potter's footsteps to Hill Top and Near Sawrey, her beloved home in the Lakes.
Hawkshead village is an excellent base for exploring the countryside that inspired Beatrix and many other artists, authors and poets.
