Welcome to Hawes Water Beck

Hawes Water Beck is a picturesque stream that flows through the heart of Cumbria. The beck is surrounded by lush greenery and is home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and brown trout. The beck is a popular spot for fishing, with anglers coming from all over the country to try their luck in its crystal-clear waters. The beck is also a great place for a leisurely stroll, with several walking trails that wind their way along its banks.

The Hawes Water Beck is an important part of the local ecosystem, providing a vital source of water for the surrounding area. The beck is fed by several smaller streams and springs, which flow down from the nearby hills and fells. The water is clean and pure, and is home to a variety of aquatic plants and animals. The beck is also an important breeding ground for several species of fish, including brown trout and salmon.

The Hawes Water Beck is steeped in history and folklore, with many local legends and stories associated with the area. According to one legend, the beck is home to a water spirit known as Jenny Greenteeth, who lures unsuspecting travelers into the water with her enchanting song. Another legend tells of a group of fairies who live in the woods surrounding the beck, and who can be seen dancing and playing in the moonlight. Whether you believe in these stories or not, there is no denying the magical atmosphere of the Hawes Water Beck, and the sense of wonder and awe that it inspires in all who visit.
