Local Walks

Many splendid Lake District walks can be enjoyed in and around Hawkshead, with an amazing choice and variety. Make the village your base and explore all the area has to offer.

Whether you’re looking for a gentle stroll or a more challenging walk; a sculpture path through Grizedale forest or a trip to the famous Tarn Hows, the countryside around Hawkshead offers something for everyone. You’ll also find more challenging Wainwrights in places like Coniston and Ambleside within a short distance of the village.

Why not leave the car at home? A good selection of these Lake District walks can also be done without your car – check out our car free days out for more inspiration.
