About

A quirky, richly curated collection: Beatrix Potter's scientific mycology paintings, artist Kurt Schwitters' Ambleside years, and the region's literary and photographic archives. Small enough for an hour, deep enough to return.

Roger Recommends

"Pair with lunch at Fellinis or Zeffirellis five minutes' walk away."
