Beatrix was a real nature lover! She spent a lot of time in the countryside, eventually moving out there. She was dedicated to preserving not just areas of outstanding natural beauty, but ordinary stretches of countryside that would be ruined by development. She was close friends with one of the developers of the National Trust, and when she died she left her estate to the National Trust. She really helped to keep the Lake District beautiful for us! 9.
