Lake District 2023 15: Hawkshead

Continuing my series about my holiday in the Lake District with an account of a visit to Hawkshead.

Welcome to the latest post in my series about my holiday in the Lake District. We are now on to the Wednesday, my last full day in the area and my 48th birthday. The day started with a visit to Hawkshead by way of a fairly short and scenic bus journey.

BACK ON THE TOPE TRAIL

Hawkshead features in Rebecca Tope’s series of Lake District novels (“The Hawkshead Hostage”) – not the only place we visited that day to do so.

THE MOST SCENIC VILLAGE IN THE LAKE DISTRICT

This is Hawkshead’s own strapline for itself, and it may even be true (in the space of a few days I can hardly lay claim to have seen anything approaching every village in the area, so I can go no stronger than that) – it is certainly extremely scenic, and the church is very interesting. The churchyard is no longer used for burials and is now a designated nature reserve.
