Hawksdale


Hawksdale is a distributed hamlet in the City of Carlisle district of Cumbria, located by the River Caldew and about 1½ miles south of the village of Dalston and 5 miles south-west of the centre of Carlisle. Hawksdale Hall here dates from the 17th century. Parts of Hawsdale were in the Holm Estate, including Holm Hill, a large country house, which is now Lime House School. Historically, Hawksdale and the surrounding area were a township in the ancient parish of Dalston in Cumberland. Today, Hawksdale forms part of Dalston Civil Parish.
