Visions of Cumbria

 

The purpose of this section is to show various pictures from Cumbria which do not normally appear on our walks pages. They may have been taken on a day out or maybe on the way to or back from one of our walks or sent in by one of our readers. Either way I hope that you will enjoy them.


On our return to the car after the walk up Latterbarrow we decided to drive into Hawkshead for a look around and a pot of tea. It is some time since I have actually stopped in Hawkshead and I had forgotten how quaint the village is away from the car park area.

St Michael and All Angels Church

Looking over the village towards Latterbarrow

The bulk of the building dates back to the 16 & 17 Century

The Font

 

The village is renowned for it's ginnels or alleys

Ann Tyson's Cottage. The young William Wordsworth lodged here whilst at the school. They later moved to Colthouse.

One thing the village isn't short of is local pubs......The Red Lion

Queens Head

The Sun Inn

The old grammar school, founded in 1585 by the Archbishop of York. William Wordsworth and his brother John went to school here.

Cuppa time!!!

On our way home we stopped off at Esthwaite Water
