Make-over for Jeremy Fisher’s home

Esthwaite Water, which was immortalised as the home of Beatrix Potter’s Jeremy Fisher, is to be returned to a more natural state, more than 100 years after the children’s tale was first published.

As part of the Windermere Catchment restoration programmed, the fish cages at Hawkshead Trout Farm have been removed.

Following the completion of the work to remove the fish cages, the business will run a rainbow trout fishery for a time with a gradual transition to a native brown trout fishery.
