Off to the west of Windermere sits Hawkeshead, a pretty village with good parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s clean and has quite a few shops to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our favourite place though was The Little Ice Cream Shop. The ice cream here is superb! I had the caramel flavour whilst my wife had Kendal mint cake, it was to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are shops selling gifts, clothes and of course plenty of pubs and restaurants to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cobbled narrow streets, quaint cottages and general appearance of this place makes it a worthwhile visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We enjoyed Hawkeshead and I’m sure you will too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
