Hawkshead Way in Westmorland – Named after Hawkshead, a village halfway between Coniston Water and Windermere near the northern edge of Esthwaite Water. Named to continue the theme in the subdivision of naming streets after places in historic Westmorland in England, since 1974 part of Cumbria. Named in 2013.
A small amount of information from the library website and Hawkshead means mountain pasture of a man called Haukr. I was expecting it to be about the bird.
The houses were built between 2016 and 2023 with houses still being built. There is a reserve at the top of the street where Penruddock Rise turns into Hawkshead Way. There is also a walkway opposite the reserve which leads to Worsleys Rd. The street hasn’t been developed enough to have any character.
