The Queen’s Head fronts the square in Hawkshead behind a wash of white and summer flowers, oak-panelled and low-ceilinged within. It’s a popular walkers’ inn in a car-free village, with food all day and rooms upstairs. Handy for Tarn Hows and the Beatrix Potter Gallery. Windermere is the nearest station, reached by bus.
