And on the subject of films, and more specifically local interest films, don’t forget to watch Miss Potter. Celebrating the life of Cumbria’s favourite daughter, Beatrix Potter, and starring Renee Zellweger, the film has brought hundreds of “set-jetters” from the UK, USA, Japan and other countries to see where it was made and to experience the scenery which inspired Beatrix Potter so deeply. Head to Loughrigg Tarn (one of the filming locations) to see the majestic scenery that inspired her so much.
