Nestled in a small hamlet alongside a babbling brook, Yew Tree Farm is one of the many properties once owned by Beatrix, and now under the care of the British National Trust. In order to avoid any damage to the original Hill Top, its exterior and décor were re-created at Yew Tree during the filming of the motion picture Miss Potter. Today, as Beatrix would have liked, this charming property is a working farm with heirloom livestock and a five-star bed-and-breakfast.
Are these 2 separate houses? Was wondering if the top house is the one she lived in after married to Heelis and the bottom one Yew Tree.
What a wealth of history, and beauty that adds grace to all who share in her stories. I was a big collector of all the figurines when my daughter Hannah was born and her delight in sharing in story time was treasured.
Such a beautiful quiet life of soulful beauty here. So happy to know that the land and her legacy will go on for many many years of growing up in her wonderful world of creature friends of wild.

Such a beautiful, quaint, and contemplative place to visit…
Although I always loved her books and illustrations as a child AND adult, it was only after I learned of her love for the land, farming, and the animals that I became so enthralled with Beatrix.
What a wonderful artist, farmer, and conservationist !
God bless !
