St. Herbert’s Island in the Derwentwater, the landscape of Beatrix Potter

This week I read a collection of 22 Beatrix Potter stories, and while the Lake District is easily recognizable in Miss Potter’s charming illustrations, I was completely surprised to be able to find among my own pictures of Derwentwater the very Owl Island that the squirrels in The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin sail out to on their rafts to gather nuts for winter.
