One of the most picturesque parts of the Lake District is the area around Far Sawrey where Beatrix Potter lived. It's great walking country and there are a couple of excellent guides. The Pathfinder Guide to the Lake District and the companion volume More Lake District.

Thanks for the walking guide tips. Available in all good local bookstores, i take it? In fact a bookshop in the Lake District won the award for best independent bookshop in the Times at the weekend. Sam Read's bookshop in Grasmere. Support your local bookshop!

You can get them from most bookshops. IN the Lakes you'll also find them in outdoor shops, newsagents and general stores. Or online from Amazon.

Mike,

Thanks for the concise information about Beatrix Potter and "her" area in the Lake District. The date for the movie release here in the U.S. is January 12th, with a limited release on December 29th. I look forward to seeing it.

Did you and your readers know that Miss Potter was also a darn good botanist and botanical illustrator? This in days when women were not "permitted" much of a professional life.

Hi Georgene, and thanks for that information. She was a talented woman. I can still remember reading the books (or having them read to me) as a tiny child.

Maybe you should write something about that aspect of her life in your pages, as a movie tie-in?
