This is so cool- who wants to take tea at Beatrix Potter’s house? Just follow the Peter Rabbit sign.
Isn’t this beautiful? It remains pretty much unchanged.
The current gardeners follow the vegetable gardens described in her books.
Here’s the dollhouse described in her 1904 book, The Tale of Two Bad Mice, in which some cute vermin bust into a doll house and smash every ceramic plate and pastry to bits.
Potter was simply enchanted by the idea of creating whimsy on a smaller scale. In one corner of the house you’ll spot a collection of thimble-sized pots.
A few original pages from her books are on display.
Plus, her writing desk.
Cozy fireplace.
Dining area- notice the little stuffed characters from her books, around.
Lovely table for tea. Could you imagine?
And, her luxurious bedroom. Gorgeous place.
