Hawkshead and Claife

Comprising much of Hawkshead town and the neighboring woodlands of Claife, Hawkshead and Claife include several ruins of ancient residences. Beatrix Potter Gallery is found in the village and offers an interesting insight into the history of the village's pottery. The hamlet is enveloped by breathtaking vistas which include Windermere lakeside. Claife Station overlooks Windermere and is home to several ruins of homes whose rooms were glazed in changing colored panels which make it appear as a portrait of differing seasons.
