Surrounded by stunning mountain views and Lake Windermere, Coniston Water and Tarn Hows all just a short drive away are just a few of the reasons holidaymakers flock to Hawkshead Hill, it truly is located in the ‘Heart of the Lake District’. The picturesque village of Hawkshead is 1.5 miles away; beloved by Beatrix Potter the village is very much unchanged from the days she visited with the white washed buildings, cobbled alleyways and archways. The hamlet is an ideal base from which to explore the central and southern Lake District, the Langdale Valley with majestic mountains is a short drive north and Coniston Water and Lake Windermere, for water based adventures, are a short drive or take the car ferry across Lake Windermere and explore Bowness-on-Windermere. Ambleside (10 minutes) and Grasmere (20 minutes) are also easily reached by car with Keswick just 40 minutes away over the lovely Dunmail Raise.
