Peter Rabbit and his friends ask that you join them in this vibrant room featuring a double bed. Relax in the jetted clawfoot tube in the center of the cabbage patch garden and let your imagination soar into the world of Beatrix Potter.
Beatrix (Helen) Potter was born on 28 July 1866 in South Kensington, London. She lived a lonely life at home, being educated by a governess and having little contact with other people. She had many animals that she kept as pets, studying them and making drawings.
Potter wrote over sixty books, with the best known being her twenty-three children’s tales. In 1905, using the proceeds from her books and a legacy from an aunt, Potter bought Hill Top Farm in Near Sawrey, a village in the Lake District. The Tale of Peter Rabbit is her most famous book. Beatrix Potter was much more than the creator of Peter Rabbit. She was also a scientist, a farmer, and sheep breeder, and was also a preservationist. She bought farms and land to preserve them, and by leaving her property to the National Trust she ensured that they are still preserved for us to enjoy today.
Beatrix remained unmarried until the age of 47 when she married William Heelis, a Lake District solicitor. She dedicated her later years to preserving the ecology and natural beauty of the Lake District. She worked closely with The National Trust and left them a substantial part of her estate to be preserved as a living landscape.
