" Set in it’s own grounds on the edge of the picturesque village of Hawkshead, Walker Ground Manor is truly somewhere special. This beautiful traditional English Lake District country house, dating from the late 16th century, still has many original features; with fine oak floors and panelling, and a rare barley twist oak staircase.

Full of charm and character, all our rooms are individually furnished and decorated, and offer a high standard of accommodation with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. In an idyllic peaceful location, Walker Ground Manor offers a superbly quiet and relaxing experience.

A short drive north from Hawkshead brings Coniston, Langdale, Grasmere and Ambleside within easy reach, and with the busy centres of Windermere and Bowness just a short ferry ride away, this makes Walker Ground Manor an ideal central location for visiting the entire South Lakeland area. "

" Explore the beautiful village of Hawkshead, said by many to be the ‘prettiest village in the Lake District’, with its numerous buildings of interest dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Looking for something a little more energetic, then nearby there are many walks for all abilities. Also, mountain bike hire is available in the village, with access from the house to the numerous trails of Grizedale Forest.

For those searching the Lake District for ‘Peter Rabbit’, you will find many Beatrix Potter attractions in the area.

There are numerous events throughout the year in Hawkshead, along with other seasonal events in and around South Lakeland, so you are sure to find plenty of places to visit during your stay at Walker Ground Manor, many of which are available on our car free days.

With four inns, a small hotel and numerous cafes in the village eating out without the car could not be better served. Ambleside and Windermere can also provide International cuisine of the highest standard. "
