Grasmere

Grasmere is a tiny town located in the middle of the Lake District (north west of Windermere), Grasmere is known for it's connection to the poet William Wordsworth who lived and is buried here. There is the Wordsworth Dove Cottage & Wordsworth Museum that I am told is worth a visit.

There is a lovely walk around the lake (Grasmere Lake) that takes in small roads and farm houses.

The small town is popular for it's unusual Grasmere Gingerbread - A treacle-like base with crumble topping that is oddly addictive sold from an extremely tiny shop that makes a trip to Grasmere worth it for this alone though expect crowds.

There are several pay and display car parks throughout the town.
