Description: Hill Top, Near Sawrey, Cumbria in 2012. The former home of Beatrix Potter now owned by The National Trust. Potter wrote many of her stories here. Characters such as Tom Kitten, Samuel Whiskers and Jemima Puddleduck were all created here, and the books contain many pictures based on the house and garden. Many of the features of the house used in the book illustrations, such as the kitchen range seen in The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, can still be seen today. This view of the house shows the front porch, topped with Cumbrian slate, that appears in The Tale of Tom Kitten when Miss Tabitha turns the kittens out into the garden while she makes hot buttered toast, and the chimney pots that are seen in The Tale of Samuel Whiskers
