This route is a one way, 5 mile, walk. Catching the bus at Hawkshead and starting the hike at Near Sawrey. For Beatrix Potter fans, there is a gallery of her art work in Hawkshead (along with all the shops featuring Peter Rabbit & Co.), and at Near Sawrey is Hill Top where she lived. The route then goes back to Hawkshead via Latterbarrow which has great views over Windermere. The walk passes various tarns on the way, two of which have the great names of Moss Eccles Tarn & Wise Een Tarn.
I have to say that starting with a bacon sandwich at Sawrey House, at the side of the Hill Top car park, was a real highlight. They do welcome walkers.
