Its church dates back to 1300, and famed poet Wordsworth studied at Hawkshead’s grammar school! You also pass the picturesque spot Tarn Hows on the way to Coniston Water — keep your eyes open for resident roe deer in Yew Tree Valley. On our return to Windermere, there’s a photo stop at Yew Tree Farm, the setting for the Hollywood film Miss Potter.
