Do visit Brantwood - at any time of the year! It was too wet to visit the gardens but we had a leisurely visit of the house which held loads of interesting artefacts and information of historical interest, particularly as we had visited Blackwell earlier in the day and were able to make links between people, places and the ideology of the time. Set in an amazing location, which we didn't see the best of due to the poor weather, but would visit again to enjoy the gardens and the views across Coniston water.
2. Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,476 reviews
Hill Top was Beatrix Potter's most beloved place, packed full of her favourite things and left just as she wanted it for visitors to enjoy. You will see why she loved it so much and used it and the surrounding countryside as inspiration for many of her famous children's tales. Your visit helps the National Trust continue her work to look after the Lake District.

This is a small site set in beautiful scenery and about 10 mins walk from Hawkshead along a footpath following a stream. The facilities on this site were spotlessly clean and I would definitely use this site again.
