  We obtain the metric corresponding to the Hayward black hole spacetime
surrounded by a cloud of strings and investigate the role played by this cloud
on the horizons, geodesics, effective potential and thermodynamics. We compare
the obtained results with the ones of the literature, corresponding to the
Hayward black hole, when the cloud of strings is absent. Also, the question
related to its nature, with respect to regularity, in this scenario, is
examined.
