We are now taking Farm Tour Bookings for the 2026 summer season.
Join us on a exclusive guided tour of Hill Top Farm, Near Sawrey renowned as the first farm owned by Beatrix Potter.
The farm at Hill Top remains fully operational all year round just how Beatrix Potter loved and envisioned. The farm tour offers a rare opportunity to go beyond the gate and capture a glimpse of the working Lakeland farm as it is today and meet the Hill Top Herdwick flock.
Enjoy the picturesque landscape setting of Near Sawrey on this gentle/easy walk around the farm and admire the Hill Top House from an alternative viewpoint.
