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.

A bit of excitement in the village this morning, as Denis has his car in dock he decided to walk to Far Sawrey this morning for the papers, on a bend between the 2 villages a local gentleman had somehow managed to roll his black jeep over and there was fuel all over the road, at first I thought it was the shock of seeing Denis walking on for his paper but he assures me he was not responsible. Police, Fire and Ambulance were all in attendance but the gentleman involved was up and about so hopefully no lasting damage was done.
