Hawkshead, the charming village, preserves the beauty and character that drew its most famous residents, William Wordsworth, and Beatrix Potter, to it. Between the whitewashed 17th century houses, visitors can explore the abundance of little passageways, thoroughfares, archways, and courtyards. The Beatrix Potter Gallery, which holds an annual changing exhibition of the famed author's pictures and stories, is one of the village's numerous attractive inns, teashops, guest rooms, and gift shops. William Wordsworth, another famous Hawkshead fan, attended the Old Grammar School from 1779 to 1787, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk where he scrawled his name as a tiny boy!
