Beatrix Potter's village — a medieval gem in the heart of the Lake District
Hawkshead is a village in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, set between Esthwaite Water and Coniston Water in the southern Lake District. The village is one of the most perfectly preserved medieval settlements in England, with whitewashed buildings, cobbled alleyways, and a 15th-century grammar school where William Wordsworth was educated. Hawkshead is also closely associated with Beatrix Potter, who lived at Hill Top Farm in nearby Near Sawrey and used the surrounding landscape as the setting for her Peter Rabbit stories. The village is entirely pedestrianised and car-free, making it one of the most tranquil destinations in the Lake District.

About Hawkshead
- Hawkshead Grammar School, founded in 1585, is where William Wordsworth was educated from 1779 to 1787. The school is now a museum and still contains the desk on which the young Wordsworth carved his name — visible to visitors today.
- Beatrix Potter bought Hill Top Farm in Near Sawrey, just two miles from Hawkshead, in 1905 with the royalties from The Tale of Peter Rabbit. She used the farm and the surrounding landscape as the setting for many of her books, and the farm is now one of the most visited National Trust properties in England.
- Hawkshead is entirely car-free — vehicles must be left in the car park at the edge of the village. This makes it one of the most peaceful and atmospheric villages in the Lake District, and a taxi drop-off and pick-up service is the most convenient way to arrive and depart.
