This half-day tour begins with a small mini-coach ride through the Lake District countryside. The first stop is Hill Top Farm, the former home of Beatrix Potter, where visitors spend about 40 minutes inside. If Hill Top is closed (Fridays outside UK school holidays and November to February), the tour visits The World of Beatrix Potter attraction instead. Afterward, the group takes a 40-minute cruise on Lake Windermere, England's largest lake, with commentary provided on board in English. The tour also includes a 20-minute stop at Tarn Hows, a scenic area created by damming smaller tarns in the 19th century and later given to the National Trust by Beatrix Potter. Finally, the tour stops for around 30 minutes in the village of Hawkshead, known for its medieval character and as the school location of poet William Wordsworth. Transport throughout is by small mini-coach. The total duration of the tour is about 4.5 hours. Entrance fees to Hill Top Farm or The World of Beatrix Potter and the lake cruise are included. Food and drink are not provided, and there are toilet stops along the route.
