Grasmere is a charming village right in the heart of the Lake District National
Park in Cumbria, England. Within easy reach are the towns of Ambleside, Keswick, Hawkshead, Coniston, Bowness and Windermere.
Grasmere
lake lies to the south of the village, around which there are some gentle walks for those that prefer the lower ground. For
those that prefer a greater challenge, in Grasmere you're centrally situated for taking on the craggy peaks of the Scafell
Pikes, Helvellyn, Skiddaw and the Langdale Pikes.
Grasmere was once the home of the famous poet William Wordsworth;
today you can visit two of his former homes - Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount. Also in the centre of Grasmere is St. Oswalds
Church, the churchyard of which contains the Wordsworth family graves.
