are from Hawkshead. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your
ideal accommodation
Hawkshead is a tiny village of higgledy-piggledy
houses, archways and squares beloved by William Wordsworth and
Beatrix Potter. The Beatrix Potter Gallery is housed in a 17th
Century building, once the office of a local solicitor named
William Heelis who married Beatrix Potter in 1913. Cars are banned
from the village itself, with car parking in a large car park
on the outskirts. The main industry of Hawkshead is tourism,
with inns, guest houses, teashops and gift shops catering for
the many visitors. The 17th Century Church of St Michael and
All Angels stands high overlooking the village, with fine views
to Esthwaite Water, Claife Heights, Latterbarrow, Helvellyn and
the Langdales. Also see Hawkshead
