Hawkshead and Claife
From Wikishire
Hawkshead and Claife is a National Trust estate in Lancashire, made up of much of the town of Hawkshead and surrounding Claife Woodlands, all amongst the Furness Fells.
Overlooking Windermere itself is Claife Station, the ruins of a residence notable for the fact that each room was glazed in differing coloured glass to give the effect of viewing the landscape in the changing seasons.
Hawkshead is home to the Beatrix Potter Gallery, another National Trust property. The Trust also owns four miles of access along Windermere lakeshore.
