Beatrix Potter Gallery
Beatrix Potter Gallery Review
In the 17th-century solicitor's offices formerly used by Potter's husband, the Beatrix Potter Gallery displays a changing selection of the artist-writer's original watercolors and drawings, as well as information on her interests as a naturalist. Potter was a conservationist and an early supporter of the National Trust. The house looks almost as it would have in her day. Admission is by timed ticket.
