People with a soft spot for Peter Rabbit and other literary characters created by Beatrix Potter can book hotels in the Lake District this summer for a fun and memorable experience.

The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in Bowness-on-Windermere is celebrating its 20th anniversary by launching the Potter Places Treasure Trail.

Set to be officially launched by actress and comedian Victoria Wood on 28 July, the trail will run for a month until the end of August.

It will invite members of the public to search for valuable prizes worth more than £5,000 at 35 participating locations.

The top prize is a limited edition set of gold coins worth £2,000, while Peter Rabbit collectibles, sculptures and other items will also be up for grabs.

Andy Poole, chief executive of the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, said: 'The Potter Places Treasure Trail is set to be an exciting event and marks a significant milestone - the attraction's 20th birthday.

'The attraction has constantly developed over the last 20 years, offering something new for people to see each year, with even more exciting developments in the coming years for future generations of visitors to enjoy.'

A special event map and webpage offering more information on the trail will be available on the Go Lakes website from 28 July.

People planning a trip to the Lake District this summer can book hotels in popular destinations such as Windermere, Ambleside and Penrith.
