Far Sawrey is a quaint village located in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria, England. It's situated on the western side of Lake Windermere, the largest natural lake in England. Known for its unspoiled rural charm, the village is predominantly composed of traditional stone-built cottages, making it a quintessential example of Lake District architecture. Far Sawrey is perhaps best known as the home of Beatrix Potter, the renowned author and illustrator of children's books, who found inspiration in the area's stunning landscapes.
The village's main attraction is Hill Top, the 17th-century farmhouse where Beatrix Potter wrote many of her famous tales. Now a National Trust property, Hill Top has been preserved as it was during Potter's lifetime, providing a unique insight into her life and works. Visitors can explore the beautiful cottage garden, filled with flowers, herbs, and vegetables, just as Potter had designed. The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for walks, with trails offering stunning views of Windermere and the surrounding countryside.
From Far Sawrey, other Lake District towns and attractions are easily accessible. A short ferry ride across Windermere leads to Bowness-on-Windermere, a popular tourist town offering a range of amenities and attractions, including The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, and Windermere town itself with the only railway station in the heart of the National Park. The bustling market towns of Kendal and Ambleside are within driving distance, offering shopping, dining, and cultural sites. Further afield, the serene landscapes of Ullswater, Buttermere, and Crummock Water offer more opportunities for hiking and exploration. Far Sawrey, with its rich literary heritage and prime location, provides a delightful base for exploring the Lake District.
