Beatrix Potter

Wednesday, we went to Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's home. We took the ferry across Windermere Lake. Here's the lake.



Then we took a bus, appropriately called the Mountain Goat, that wound it's way through little roads and hill farms. Here's the view.



If you saw the movie "Miss Potter," you know that Hill Top is the home Beatrix Potter bought with her royalties from Peter Rabbit. This is where she came to after the death of her fiance. She became a champion of preserving hill farms and raising Herdwick sheep. Here's Hill Top.



Finally, the animal for the day was horses. Here they are.
