Nestled in the United Kingdom, Beatrix Potter’s 17th-century Hill Top farmhouse served as both her home and a wellspring of inspiration for her beloved children’s books. The author, who lived here for most of her life, bequeathed the property to the National Trust with the stipulation that it remain as if she had just stepped out. Visitors today can explore the very rooms and gardens that inspired Potter’s tales, offering a glimpse into the setting that shaped her stories.
