 Welcome to our page of accommodation in Hawkshead!
Hawkshead is a tiny village of higgledy-piggledy houses,
archways, and squares beloved by William Wordsworth and Beatrix
Potter. The Beatrix Potter Gallery, a 17th Century building,
was once the office of the local solicitor William Heelis, who
married Beatrix Potter in 1913, and has remained largely unaltered
since his day. Cars are banned from the village, there being
a large car park on the outskirts of the village. Tourism is
now the main industry of Hawkshead, with many pleasant inns,
guest houses, teashops and gift shops. The 17th Century Church
of St Michael & All Angels stands high looking out over the
village, and has fine views to Esthwaite Water, Claife Heights,
Latterbarrow, Helvellyn and the Langdales. |
