Discover the Delights of Grasmere
Grasmere is tucked away beneath breathtaking hills and boasts its very own lake, this quaint village is home to a superabundance of boutiques, lively pubs, and charming cafes.
Literary aficionados can pay a visit to Wordsworth’s final resting place in the local churchyard, and taste the renowned Grasmere Gingerbread that’s steeped in tradition.
For keen walkers, taking a scenic stroll along Red Bank Road and then tracing the footpath by the lake’s western shore towards Rydal Water is a must-do.
Free from the buzz of motor boats, this tranquil lake is a haven for those who enjoy swimming and rowing. In the warm summer months, the opportunity to hire a rowing boat and glide on the lake adds to the village’s charm.
