It is the delightful small 17th-century farmhouse where Beatrix Potter wrote many of her famous children's stories To visit the house of the writer of Peter Rabbit is a must for any fan of of the little books. The house is an art gallery of Beatrix' work. As you walk from room you can try to find the orginal pieces of furniture, crockery etc. which are drawings in the little books. The dresser is still there which was used for the tailor of gloucester and the teacup which a mouse hides under! As you move upstairs you actually pass the part of the stairs which is in the tom kitten book. My favourite of all is the dolls house. It is off course mainly from the Tale of Two Bad Mice but inside is the actual handerchief from Peter Rabbit. The story doesnt end inside. When you move outside you can look over the wall into Mr McGregor's garden. Look carefully and you can just spot Jemima Puddleduck's egg. This house is definately worth a visit to historians and fans alike. It is one of the Lake District's most visited attractions and owned by the National Trust so make sure you pick a day when it is open or you will be VERY dissappointed.
