Nearby is the delightful village of Hawkshead, previously home to the famous William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Enjoy the inns, teashops and gift shops, along with the Beatrix Potter Gallery. Interestingly, you can still visit the Old Grammar School, where Wordsworth carved his name into his desk. You have the Lakeland Motor Museum within easy reach, as well as the cobbled town of Ulverston, the birthplace of Stan Laurel of 'Laurel and Hardy.'

The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Cars are banned from the village, leaving visitors free to wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th Century houses. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.
