Ever since seeing the "Miss Potter" movie about Beatrix Potter, author of such lovable stories as "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", "Jamima Puddle-Duck" & "Benjamin Bunny," I've had a strong desire to see the Lake District.
Beatrix Potter grew up in London, but vacationed in the Lake District and is where she got her inspiration for her drawings and stories. Later, she moved to the Lake District, became a farmer and even an award winner of farming Herdwick Sheep.
Upon her death, she left 14 farms and 4000 acres to the National Trust, allowing visitors to enjoy the rugged beauty of the area.
First on our agenda was to take the kids to "The World of Beatrix Potter."
Beautifully done scenes from the books.
The Peter Rabbit Garden.
The attraction's cafe has a nice Peter Rabbit Picnic Basket for kids,
and a scrumptious tea for two for the parents.
I'll be sharing more beauty of the Lake District, so keep checking back!
I've really enjoyed linking up with Bonnie & Belinda for Travel Tuesday!
