Herdwicks & Happiness
Closer to home today, we’ll split into two groups and swap itineraries at lunchtime.
A fun needle felting workshop using local Herdwick fleece with Hanne at her wonderful barn of temptation - in her own words, ‘Herdwick wool, homemade cake and happiness in Hawkshead’.
And another treat in the form of a visit to Hilltop, the farm that Beatrix Potter bought with the proceeds from The Tale of Peter Rabbit. The Dixons have farmed Hilltop for thirty five years and we’ll meet Amy and some of her flock there and hear first hand of the challenges of modern day sheep farming.
