Hawkshead Village
Nestled in the Vale of Esthwaite - deep in the heart of Beatrix Potter country - is the village 'Hawkshead' - situated 2 miles west of Lake Windermere and aptly named 'the prettiest little village in the Lake District'.
Visitors will find a wonderful mixture of the historic and picturesque; whitewashed walls contrast against narrow cobbled streets - adorned with hanging baskets aglow with a profusion of colour.
The pubs are not only friendly but offer some tantalising fayre to whet the appetite. A tremendous community spirit can be found in Hawkshead - one that will keep you coming back for more, time and time again.
