The prettiest village in the lakes

The Lake District national park is full of quaint picture postcard villages, but very few can match the beauty of Hawkshead on the western side of Lake Windermere. The village famous for both its relish and brewery has a fantastic selection of cafes, souvenir shops and bars within its compact village centre, but the main draw here is its surrounding area. No matter what direction you head in once you leave the village you will be rewarded with spectacular scenery in this special corner of the Lake District. #village #lakedistrict

Hawkshead

Hawkshead is an ancient township that had flourished since norse times. This tiny village is still in the same collection of white paint houses. The 17th century church of St Michael stands high looking over the village and has a fine view to Esthwaite water which is 2 kilometers 25 minutes away. The old grammar school was found in 1585 by the Archbishop of York. The ground floor classroom retains many old desks including the poet Willam Wordsworth. No cars are allowed inside, outside got a big paid carpark, or you can take 505 buses either from Kendal or Ambleside.
