Hill Top Farm, English country house in Near Sawrey, England
Hill Top Farm features traditional stone buildings with byres, barns, and lofts set within two hundred and fifty acres of pasture fields and meadows.
Beatrix Potter purchased the initial thirty-four acres of Hill Top Farm in 1905 using proceeds from her successful book The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
The farm maintains a registered Herdwick sheep flock, continuing the agricultural traditions established during Beatrix Potter's ownership of the property.
The National Trust operates guided tours through the house, with timed entry tickets available for purchase to manage visitor numbers during peak seasons.
Each room in the house remains exactly as Beatrix Potter specified in her detailed preservation instructions, including the placement of furniture and personal items.
