Beatrix Potter Gallery

For fans of Beatrix Potter the Gallery in Hawkshead (now the “Tabitha Twitchit's Bookshop”) is well worth a visit showcasing a small number of Beatrix's original works which are regularly rotated. The building in which the gallery is housed was originally where her husband worked and is itself interesting to see with it's wonky woodwork, severely slopped floors and small rooms. The gallery is on the ground and first floors (up a narrow staircase).

There are things to amuse young children as well including crafts and hands-on displays.

Parking is in the nearby Hawkshead town pay and display car park. There is also a small admission charge and a gift shop.
