The £1m attraction has attracted thousands of visitors in its first month, in a nation second only to Britain in enthusiasm for Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck and friends. The replica of Hill Top, near the Windermere ferry at Sawrey, is stocked with first editions and other memorabilia.
Liz Houseman from the National Trust, which was given the original estate by Potter, said: "It's a surreal experience. Everything just looks the same as in the Lake District."
