A walk from Hawkshead

The picturesque Lake District village of Hawkshead is a walkers delight, no matter what direction you head in from its centre you will be able to witness the awe inspiring beauty that makes this national park world famous. Arguably the best of these walks is the 4km hike up to the beautiful Tarn Hows across Hawkshead Hill and High Cross passing through High woods along the way. #lakedistrict #hiking

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.
