Hawkshead Village Walk | The Lake District National Park Cumbria | 4K
If you enjoy this relaxing walk, please leave a comment..always interested in what you think of these walks and tours! Hawkshead is just north of Esthwaite Water, in a valley to the west of Windermere and east of Coniston Water. It is part of Furness, making it a part of the ancient county of Lancashire. The township of Hawkshead was originally owned by the monks of Furness Abbey; nearby Colthouse derives its name from the stables owned by the Abbey. Hawkshead grew to be an important wool market in medieval times and later as a market town after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1532. It was granted its first market charter by King James I in 1608. In 1585, Hawkshead Grammar School was established by Archbishop Edwin Sandys of York after he successfully petitioned Queen Elizabeth I for a charter to establish a governing body. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Hawkshead became a village of local importance. Hawkshead Market Hall was completed in 1790. William Wordsworth (afterwards poet laureate) was educated at Hawkshead Grammar School, whilst Beatrix Potter lived nearby as did William Heelis, a local solicitor, in the early 20th century.

I don't know anything about Hawkshead, but WOW, so much history there! Potter, Wordsworth! Id heard that Beatrix Potter lived in the Lake District but never knew where. Thanks for the walk-around Jon! Some stunning views.

Beatrix and William lived in several Cumbrian homes - BP bought Hill Top, the now National Trust owned house, but lived in a larger, white house across the road (It can be seen from the NT Shop)

Beatrix owned Hill Top nearby, but apparently lived in the larger White House opposite the National Trust entrance - William and Beatrix lived in many homes in Cumbria during their lives.

Great history 👍👍
William Wordsworth lived at Allan Bank, also National Trust - another large white house, with great views of Grasmere Lake - obviously Dove Cottage is the more well known.

Is Dove cottage the yellow one?

@@relaxingwalks_uk The last time that I visited Dove Cottage, it was also White (2022) - on the opposite side of the main road to the Daffodil Hotel, right if driving north towards Keswick.
