Buckle Yeat is situated in the village of Near Sawrey.
The name Buckle Yeat is over 300 years old and it means fasten the gate.In years gone by the gate referred to would be the gate to the village.
Near Sawrey was once home to the children's writer Beatrix Potter about whom the movie Miss Potter is all about. Hill Top Farm where she wrote many of her stories is a museum and is open to the public.

Another lovely sunny day, but a bank holiday looming so fingers crossed it lasts.

Is cuckoo brow lane the lane that go's past the Vicarage in Far Sawrey not the lane by the children's playground?
On a couple of maps I have seen both lanes are called Cuckoo Brow Lane and I wonder if years ago they would join up at the top of Stones Lane, any more local info would be good
