10th May 2026 Hawkshead
Our next day out is to Hawkshead in the Lake District on 10th May! A later-than-usual trip due to the Bank Holiday weekend.
Hawkshead has flourished from its beginnings as a Medieval market town. Today, Hawkshead is the perfect place for the visitor to experience the 'real' Lake District.
The cobbled streets, squares and courtyards of much of Hawkshead and the beautiful whitewashed cottages, topped with local Lakeland slate, give this little place a magical feel.
More information about Hawkshead can be found here.
The area around Hawkshead offers the walker a large variety of easy and moderate walks. Explore the area individually or join one of our led walks - information about our led walks is sent out nearer the time.
