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.

Yesterday two ladies, Mother and daughter checked out and went for a walk up on Claife, at about noon the mountain rescue ambulance went hurrying through the village and it turned out the older lady had slipped on a rock and broke her leg. I spoke to her daughter who was obviously a bit fraught but she was full of praise for the Langdale Mountain rescue team who turned up and carried her Mum to safety,the ambulance took her to Lancaster and the daughter followed in her car. Hopefully she will make a swift recovery.
