Lingholm, Grade II listed building in Portinscale, England
The Lingholm estate comprises a Victorian main house and individual cottages positioned near the western shore of Derwentwater lake in the Lake District.
Built in the 1870s by architect Alfred Waterhouse, Lingholm served as a military convalescent home for officers during World War I and housed evacuee children in World War II.
Beatrix Potter spent ten summers at Lingholm, where she wrote The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin and drew inspiration from the kitchen garden for The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
The estate features self-catering apartments, a café serving meals throughout the day, and direct access to hiking trails around Derwentwater lake.
The Lingholm Kitchen Garden maintains a Victorian-style walled garden that supplies fresh produce for the on-site café and demonstrates traditional cultivation methods.
