Hawkshead - Tourist Attractions & Information
Ambleside | Lake District National Park | Cumbria
Hawkshead is a delightful little village full of character and charm, with, for its size, a surprising range of tourist attractions including a 17th century elevated church with fine views across Esthwaite water to Latterbarrow and a Beatrix Potter gallery, owned by the National Trust, featuring exhibitions of Beatrix Potter's original artwork and drawings. If you enjoy shopping there's plenty to choose from, with outdoor clothing and equipment stores such as Hawkshead and Summitreks selling top brands, or several quality gift shops with local crafts and produce. There is also a choice selection of tea rooms, cafés and pubs serving everything from tasty snacks to fine meals.
