Interested in seeing behind the scenes at Hill Top? The BBC's third series of Hidden Treasures of the National Trust features Hill Top in episode one.

Hill Top is one of the places featured in series three of BBC 2’s Hidden Treasures of the National Trust. The first episode looks at houses that became retreats, and places of inspiration, for literary legends.

A collection of over 70 miniature pieces under the roof of Beatrix Potter's own dolls' house are undergoing major conservation before a new exhibition. The show goes behind the scenes to hear from the experts who worked on the conservation.

You can watch the six-part series every Friday at 9pm on BBC Two, starting from Friday 16 May, with Hill Top featuring in Episode 1. You can also catch up on any episodes you miss on BBC iPlayer and find out more about the other places in the show.
