Troutbeck Park
Troutbeck Park is a farm to the north of Troutbeck village in Westmorland and Furness, Cumbria.[1] In 1923, there was a risk of it being sold for development, so Beatrix Potter bought it and kept it as a working farm. She bred Herdwick sheep there with the help of shepherd Tom Storey. When she died in 1943 she was president-elect of the Herdwick Sheep Breeders' Association, though she died before she could take up office.
It was one of the fourteen farms which Beatrix Potter left to the National Trust when she died.

Troutbeck Tongue
Troutbeck Tongue is a small fell in the English Lake District, three miles (five kilometres) ENE of Ambleside. It is one of 214 hills listed in Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, making it a popular attraction for walkers aiming to complete the "Wainwrights". Its moderate height and proximity to a main road mean it is a pleasant half-day excursion that can be done when the higher fells are in cloud.
