FOR SUCH A SMALL ISLAND, the United Kingdom produces a lot of incredible literature. Just walking around London alone, you can stumble through settings from Dickens, Shakespeare, and J.K. Rowling. Black Prince, a service that does narrowboat tours around the UK, has picked out some of their favorite spots for book fans to visit.
The scenic Lake District was home to Peter Rabbit creator, Beatrix Potter. The much-loved children’s author was inspired by the English landscape in her writing. Potter’s first home in the Lakes, known as the House on the Hill is now managed by the National Trust and you can visit the very place where Potter got the inspiration for some of her famous tales. Plus, you can pay a visit to The World of Beatrix Potter museum in Windermere where you can step into the world of Peter Rabbit and even enjoy some tasty treats in the Beatrix Potter tea room.
