Mock-Gothic castle sitting on the Windermere shores, with turrets, towers and informal grounds.Wray Castle came to us without its contents so you will not see a 'typical' National Trust house full of paintings, furniture and antiques with an accompanying owner-family history through the ages. What you will see is a 'tired' but fascinating building with hints of its ‘grand’ past and plenty of signs of its varied history (a history that shows in its fixtures and fittings right up to the 1990s, including numbers on room doors and institutional paint-schemes). Make sure you join one of our free tours to get its full life story.If you've children to entertain you'll be pleased to know the rooms may be empty of grand possessions but full of kids having fun in our dressing up and story-telling spaces, perfect for a wet day in the Lakes! There’s plenty to do outdoors too, like rope swing, den-building and trails, in our family-friendly gardens and grounds.

"This little home of Beatrix Potter is a real pleasure to look around. The lighting inside is vey dim as in keeping with how it would have been when she lived there. You can wander around at your leisure, with lots of personal bits and pieces as well as letters etc that you can read.
There is a cu..."te little garden, plus a gift shop and toilets.
It gets very busy at times as well and is on a main road.

"Lovely scenery and well worth a visit for all those lovers of Beatrix Potter. A credit to the National Trust volunteers who sadly were required to correct some of the information in the Miss Potter film which wasn't all true. Also the film which i must say i loved wasn't filmed at Hill Top- her purc..."hase due to the success of her books.
