hawskhead
 
Set in the magnificent Vale of Esthwaite in the heart of the English Lake District, Hawkshead is a truly historic and wonderfully picturesque village characterised by its cluster of whitewashed houses, archways and alleways, courtyards and squares. A prosperous mediaeval wool town, its rich history includes important connections with the poet William Wordsworth and children's story author Beatrix Potter.

The centre of Hawkshead is closed to cars which enhances its character and makes wandering around its narrow streets especially rewarding. The surrounding countryside promises many delightful walks from gentle strolls to rugged hill climbing, and some excellent fishing for which the hotel has passes.
