Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox body of water Hawes Water, sometimes called Hawes Tarn,[1] is a lake in north west Lancashire, England, in the parish of Silverdale, the Arnside and Silverdale AONB, and the Gait Barrows National Nature Reserve (NNR).[2] It is one of only two natural fresh-water lakes in the county, along with Marton Mere. It is a marl lake and the focus of an eponymous Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)[3] and has been the subject of several research studies.[4][5][6][7] Little Hawes Water is a smaller lake to the north east. To the south of the lake, and included in the SSSI, is the area of Haweswater Moss.[8]
The footpath along the eastern side of Hawes Water is accessible for wheelchairs, and a car parking place is provided which can be accessed with a RADAR key.[9]
Fiona Reynolds, writing in Country Life, described Hawes Water as "a mysterious, low-lying marl lake, where ... we are told of riches, bitterns and lady's slipper orchid, that can be seen when the time is right".[10]
It has been recorded that a serpent was believed to live in the lake, emerging occasionally to devour local sheep.[1]
In 2020 Natural England published a Summary guide to the management of Gait Barrows National Nature Reserve, Silverdale, Lancashire 2020–2025[11] and a Grazed Habitats Management Plan: Gait Barrows National Nature Reserve 2020-2025[12] describing their plans for Hawes Water and the rest of the Gait Barrows NNR.
