Walks

Moss Eccles Tarn is just a short walk from Far Sawrey. It was here that Beatrix Potter spent many an hour fishing - from a rowing boat that can now be seen at the Steamboat Museum at Windermere. It is thought that the water lilies on Moss Eccles inspired the story of Jeremy Fisher. Beatrix Potter bought part of the tarn in 1926, and on her death is was given to the National Trust. At nearby Claife Heights, is Claife Station, built in the 1790s - a viewpoint where visitors can look at Lake Windermere. It was most fashionable with tourists in the 1830s and 40s and is still a stunning place to view Lake Windermere.
