Near Sawrey

Near Sawrey en Far Sawrey binne buordoarpen yn Kumbria, yn it Lake District tusken Hawkshead en de mar Windermere.

De doartpen binne ferneamd om their association with Beatrix Potter. Sy wenne op Hill Top Farm yn Near Sawrey, first arriving at age 30 in 1896. A number of sites in the villages were used in her books such as The Tale of Tom Kitten, The Fairy Caravan, 'The Tale of the Pie and the Patty-Pan en The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck.

The villages date from at least the 14e ieu, when Near Sawrey was known as 'Sourer', becoming 'Narr Sawrey' by the 17th century (suggesting that Far Sawrey must have been in existence by this time). Near Sawrey contains a pub, while Far Sawrey has the parish church, a hotel, pub and village shop. The village shop ceased to function as a post office about 2003.

There are waymarked paths between the ferry and Beatrix Potter's house which largely avoid walking on the public roads.
