Hawker's Hut is a historic hut at Morwenstow, Cornwall originally built by the eccentric clergyman, poet and antiquarian, Robert Stephen Hawker (1803 – 1875), close to Higher Sharpnose Point. The hut is located approximately 1 mile from Morwenstow Church. The hut is mainly of timber construction and is partially built into the hillside (earth sheltered) with a turf roof. It was originally built from driftwood and timber retrieved from shipwrecks by the eccentric vicar and poet. Parson Hawker spent many hours in the hut writing poems and smoking opium, no doubt inspired by the spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean.〔Clegg, David (2005) ''Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly: the complete guide''. Leicester: Matador; pp. 46-47〕 Visitors to the hut during Hawker's time there included Alfred Tennyson in 1848〔Hale, A., "The Land Near the Dark Cornish Sea" in: ''Journal for the Academic Study of Magic'', Issue 2, pp. 206-225〕 (with whom Hawker toured Tintagel) and Charles Kingsley. Today the hut is accessible on foot from the coastal footpath via a short set of steps. Hawker's hut has been maintained since its original construction although some of the original elements are still present. It is currently the smallest property belonging to the National Trust. ==Gallery== File:Robert Stephen Hawker 1864.jpg|Robert Stephen Hawker (1864) File:View from Hawker's Hut.jpg|West-nor-west view from Hawker's Hut straight down the cliff File:View N-W from Hawker's Hut - geograph.org.uk - 412056.jpg|Nor-west view with gorse File:View W-S-W from Hawker's Hut - geograph.org.uk - 412030.jpg|West-south-west view down to a wave-cut platform and a small headland File:Vicarage Cliff, site of Hawker's Hut, across The Tidna - geograph.org.uk - 412192.jpg|The hut is at the top of this cliff, but is not visible in this photo 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hawker's Hut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
