Location Hawkshead is a beautiful and popular conservation village at

the heart of the Lake District National Park at the northern tip of

Esthwaite Water roughly midway between Lake Windermere and

Coniston Water and is surrounded by magnificent scenery.

Leave Ambleside village centre on the A593 signposted towards

Coniston taking the left hand turn signposted for Hawkshead crossing

the River Brathay on the B5286 at Clappersgate. Follow this road south

for 2 to 3 miles and the village of Hawkshead comes into view. Just as

the road bears sharply left before the main body of the village,

continue straight ahead onto the original main street (this involves

turning right, off the main thoroughfare). The Old Police Station is then

found immediately on the left hand side with private parking for The

Judges Lodging at the rear. Main Street is no longer the main

thoroughfare through the village.
