Location Details

Hawkshead's charm and character won over William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Visitors can walk narrow passageways, thoroughfares, archways, and courtyards between whitewashed 17th-century buildings. The village has many inns, teashops, guesthouses, and gift shops, as well as the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which displays the author's illustrations and stories. William Wordsworth attended the Old Grammar School at Hawkshead from 1779 to 1787. You may tour the school and see the desk where he scrawled his name as a child. Newby Bridge is 10 miles away and has the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises. Hawkshead has beautiful landscape and many sights within easy travelling distance.

Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.
