Exclusive Experiences
Your Private
Beatrix Potter Tour
The guide, the vehicle, and the day are entirely yours. Perfect for families with young children, special occasions, or simply preferring to explore at your own pace.
What Makes It Private
Entirely on Your Terms
A private Beatrix Potter tour means exactly that: no other guests, no fixed schedule, no compromises. Your guide tailors the day around your group's interests, pace, and priorities.
Families with toddlers who want to linger in Hill Top's garden. Couples who'd like to extend into quieter corners of the Lakes. Grandparents sharing a lifelong love of the tales with grandchildren. A private tour accommodates all of this naturally.
You can also add locations to the standard Beatrix Potter itinerary — the Beatrix Potter Gallery in Hawkshead, Tarn Hows (which she helped preserve), or a longer stop for lunch in a village she loved.

Ideal For
Who Books Private Tours
Families with young children — Hill Top's garden is a wonder for small children who know Peter Rabbit. A private tour means no rushing, no other guests, and a guide who'll tune the storytelling to your children's ages.
Special occasions — A private Beatrix Potter tour makes a deeply meaningful birthday, anniversary, or milestone gift, particularly for lifelong fans of the tales.
Multi-generational groups — Grandparents sharing a childhood love with grandchildren. Parents revisiting books they grew up with. A private tour can hold all of that.
Visitors with mobility considerations — A private schedule allows more flexibility around accessibility needs than a shared group departure.
