In 1929 Beatrix Potter bought the Monk Coniston estate. The estate consisted of 2500 acres of land around the head of Coniston Water including Tarn Hows, seven farms including Yew Tree, Boon Crag, High Arnside, High Tilberthwaite and High Yewdale, as well as cottages, quarries and open fells. She sold the half containing Tarn Hows to the National Trust, and bequeathed the rest of the estate to the Trust in her will.
