]]> Across the UK, there are many stunning historic stately homes, most of which come with extensive gardens and grounds. Institutions such as the National Trust and English Heritage have purchased a vast number of these awesome buildings, so if you’re vacationing in the UK, make sure to check at least one of them out.

Petworth, West Sussex

This vast mansion is set within stunning grounds landscaped by the famous gardener and designer ‘Capability’ Brown. Between the house and the grounds, you can spend a whole day at Petworth admiring its beauty and grandeur. There are many traditional artworks inside the house, and if you’re visiting in good weather there are many spots for a picnic outside.

Sizergh, Lake District

This beautiful house dates back to the medieval period, and there are some seriously special artefacts on display inside. The grounds and gardens are not to be missed. The estate is over 1500 acres, meaning there’s loads of woodlands, pasture and meadows to explore. If you’re visiting in spring or summer, don’t miss the wildflowers which bloom right across the estate.

Killerton, Devon

This beautiful mansion is set within some unusual grounds. Expect to find an ice cave dug into the Devonshire countryside (which once housed a live bear which the family kept as a pet), some redwood conifers and a ‘ha-ha’—a sudden drop in the level of the land which is easy to mistake and trip into! Inside, there are some stunning artworks and instruments, demonstrating the family’s musical history.

]]> There are many great authors that have come out of England, but Beatrix Potter is renowned for her children’s series and the house where she wrote it.

Potter first began writing at her country home, Hill Top, in 1905 after making a name for herself with The Tale of Peter Rabbit. As one of England’s most well-known female authors, her home was given to the National Trust and opened to the public. 

Hill Top

The house itself was built in the 17th century and designed to be used as a farmhouse. As you walk through the rooms, you will see that everything has been preserved from when Potter was alive. It is now a museum dedicated to her life and the importance of conservation. This was one area that she worked in for many years before her passing, as she had a particular love for nature and animals. This shines through in her children’s stories. 

Getting Here

To visit the house and the surrounding gardens you will need to travel to Cumbria by car or take the train to Windermere Station. At present, the house is closed to the public due to the pandemic. When it’s open, tickets are about $10.00 and can be booked in advance. If you want to feel like you are walking back in time, then this is a lovely day trip.
