Holidaymakers heading to the Lake District are likely to visit places like Keswick and Ambleside - but there are plenty of other lesser-known spots that certainly deserve some attention.
One of those places is Hawkshead, a quaint village home to around 500 residents and featuring a pretty collection of cosy cafes and pubs, cobbled streets, historic buildings and independent shops.
The tiny village - originally part of the Furness Abbey estate - also has strong links to William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter - two of England's most famous literary figures.
During the 18th century, Wordsworth attended school in the village and the classroom in the Hawkshead Grammar School Museum still contains desks that pupils, including the poet, carved messages in.
Just a few minutes from the village is Hill Top House where Beatrix Potter lived. The author bought the property in 1905 with the proceeds from her recently published book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
Holidaymakers who've worked up an appetite can choose from a host of fantastic food and drink options. There are plenty of accommodation choices in the village too, including the Old School House.
Because of its location in the Lake District National Park, Hawkshead is also a great base for outdoor enthusiasts, with hiking trails, cycling routes and water activities all nearby.
