Sep, 1 2024


The Lake District is more than just a pretty tourist attraction.  It is the inspirational location for many of the books by English writer, illustrator, natural scientist and conservationist Beatrix Potter.

In fact the very pets she cared for in her lifetime became the key characters in many of her much loved children’s books.

Please watch this 17 minute film about the remarkable Beatrix Potter –

 

63 years after she died fans of Beatrix were able to see a dramatization of her life in the 2006 film ‘Miss Potter’. Renee Zellweger played Beatrix as Ewan McGregor helped fight her case to get her work published. It was an accurate portrayal at the time of it’s release. It also introduced a new generation of children into those cherished books from our own childhood.

These days, you can walk through ‘The World of Beatrix Potter’ – Bowness on Windermere for families with young children. There is an initial short film about Potter plus you can enter an enchanting travel back in time where you can see her characters and the area where they lived.
