Hawkshead Attractions 
The charming little village of Hawkshead (6mi/10km west; pop. 660) is located at the head of Esthwaite Water. Hawkshead has picturesque old stone houses around the Market Square, Flag Street and Main Street. The latter is the sight of the Victorian Red Lion Hotel (1850). To the north of the market square are the town hall (1790), the parish church of St Michael and All Angels (15th century) and the grammar school founded in 1585 by Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of York, at which William Wordsworth was a pupil from 1779-87.
Beatrix Potter Gallery
The Beatrix Potter Gallery, impressively restored in 1990, is found on Hawkshead's Main Street and features some original drawings by the writer.
