Directions Website

Hawkshead, a little hidden gem nestled between Windermere and Coniston, in the heart of the English Lake District.

A must visit, beautiful and historical village, with luxury accommodation, traditional fine food, local shops and a big friendly welcome. Welcome to the village of Hawkshead, nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park. This historic, picturesque village is characterised by its whitewashed houses; archways and alleyways; courtyards and squares. Walk through its narrow, cobblestone streets and get a sense of Hawkshead’s fascinating history: it was once home to Beatrix Potter, whose former home of Hill Top House is just a short distance from the village. The surrounding countryside promises plenty of walking routes, from gentle strolls to rugged hill climbing; as well as excellent fishing on Esthwaite Water. Visit for the day, or stay in one of the village’s hotels, guest houses, inns or campsite. Hawkshead is the perfect base for exploring the Lake District, with charming towns and villages like Coniston and Ambleside just a stone’s throw away
