Debbie this was the most gorgeous read! I want to retrace your footsteps!!! It all looks so beautiful. I used to love Beatrix Potter when I was younger - Mrs Tiggy-winkle was my favourite, not sure why!? I hope you had a lovely Birthday too ! 🎉

Oh thank you Emily, you are so kind 🤗 You would love the lakes, it really is as lovely as it looks in the pictures. I highly recommend Bowness, it’s a great base to explore from, and the small town is wonderful. It does get really busy around there, but if you can go off peak then it’s better.

The books are just great aren’t they. I think my favourite is Peter Rabbit, he’s just so full of mischief

Love anything and everything Beatrix Potter related. 😊

I haven't heard of the viewing station. May add that to the list of places to visit when we're in the Lakes this summer.

One of my favourite Beatrix related places is Moss Eccles Tarn. It’s a 20ish minute walk up the hill from Near Sawrey but absolutely worth the walk. The first time we went it was a cloudy day and still beautiful but the second time it was really warm and a clear sky and it was amazing. 🥰

Hi Sarah. Oh I highly recommend the viewing station, the views from there are stunning. And there’s a lovely little café at the bottom too 😊

I will have to add Moss Eccles Tarn to the list for our next visit. We’re visiting Hill Top Farm next time, so we can tie the two in together. Moss Eccles Tarn sounds just lovely. Thank you for mentioning it.

I'll definitely have to add it to the list. I have, hopefully, sent you a photo of Moss Eccles Tarn via DM.

Thank you for sharing your posts. A lovely area. We were there back in the spring of 2011. Time to return and have another look around. All the best.

Hi Rosie, thank you so much. It’s a beautiful area isn’t it. We hadn’t been there for a long time so it was wonderful returning. Definitely won’t be our last visit either.
