The late author Beatrix Potter continues to drive masses of tourists to the natural vistas and museums of the Lake District<\/a>. But if you want to dig deep into the life of this writer, painter, illustrator and natural scientist, you might also want to visit some Beatrix Potter attractions outside of England\u2019s most mountainous region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, which museums and landmarks give you the most comprehensive insight into the life of this remarkable author? Here are our recommendations about Beatrix Potter in the UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wray Castle, Ambleside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beatrix Potter stayed in the Victorian Gothic Wray Castle<\/a> when she was just 16, marking the beginning of her fascination with the beautiful Lake District. Inside, very little remains from the days of Beatrix Potter, but the kids can learn about her life and stories in the Peter Rabbit adventure rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to pack a picnic for your visit to Wray Castle; the terrace offers stunning views over Lake Windermere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hill Top, Near Sawrey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to find out how Beatrix Potter lived, you need to visit Hill Top<\/a>, the author\u2019s former home. This beautiful cottage and its surroundings in the historic boundaries of Lancashire served as the inspiration for many of Potter\u2019s books. Head inside to see some of her treasured possessions. The contents of the house have been, for the most part, left untouched since the days of Potter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
