Near Sawrey: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Near Sawrey is a small village situated in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria, England. The village is primarily known as the home of Hill Top, the 17th-century farmhouse where children's author and illustrator Beatrix Potter lived and wrote many of her famous stories.

The surrounding landscape of rolling hills, traditional stone cottages, and countryside gardens heavily influenced Potter's illustrations and tales. The village maintains much of its traditional character, with historic buildings and working farms that reflect the agricultural heritage of the Lake District region. Near Sawrey, along with its neighbor Far Sawrey, represents a characteristic example of a rural Lake District community that has preserved its cultural and historical connections while adapting to modern tourism centered around literary heritage.
