Probably the most important reason why many overseas visitors come to Bowness. The attraction brings to life the wonderful creatures brought to life by Beatrix Potter.

Carefull sightseeing! Basically a big hole in the ground! The entire area is interesting. If you walk back towards Little Langdale and turn right at Slater's Bridge you will find a fantastic cave.

Go Back in time to imagine how Beatrix lived when writing her wonderful books. The trip by car ferry and then onto Hawkeshead for tea is a lovely experience - not mention the scenery!

The best farm shop around. The best Welsh Rarebit for lunch while watching the cows being milked. Farm trail walks and animals to see - a working farm. On the A591 going south - pick up a picnic..

Apparently the highest zipline in UK, but can't confirm. I'm told you can see Scotland from the top! I can recommend the drive: A591 to the junction with the A66 then B5292
