On the way to a few nights in Keswick we called at Hill Top, Beatrix Potter’s house near Hawksead. (Actually it was a bit out of the way but I wanted to see the renovated Doll’s House.)

We had been to the house previously but it was quite wet this time so we didn’t linger in the gardens.

There is a short programme about the restoration on inlayer
