The pretty village of Hawkshead is home to the National Trust managed Beatrix Potter Gallery, housed in a 17th century building, once the workplace of Potter s husband, William Heelis.
Other buildings of note in the village include The Old Grammar School, attended by William Wordsworth and the former Courthouse. Just a few miles away from the property is Claife Heights Viewing Station, a purpose built monument that affords visitors unrivalled views over Lake Windermere, which is itself only five miles from the house.
