Location & Places of Interest
Both the village of Grasmere and the lake itself are extremely relaxing places to visit during all four seasons, as different aspects of the valley's beauty are portrayed. Below are just a few pictures of Grasmere and some of its attractions at different times of the year, giving you a glimpse of the beauty you can enjoy through a stay with us.
Grasmere is located almost at the centre of the Lake District (8 miles north of Windermere and 12 miles south of Keswick) and therefore makes a good base for touring. If, however, you prefer to get away from driving during your break, there is a varied range of low and high level walking available to you from Lake View’s doorstep. For example, Hellvellyn (England’s second highest peak), The Fairfield Horseshoe, Alcock Tarn, Helm Crag (the Lion and the Lamb) or more sedate alternatives, such as the Round of Rydal Water or following Grasmere’s lakeshore.
For the culturally inclined there is the prospect of a visit to Dove Cottage, where William and Dorothy Wordsworth lived from 1799 to 1813, or the thirteenth century church of St. Oswald, which is the poet’s final resting place. Alternatively, you can wander around Grasmere’s clothing shops and cafés, sample the world famous Grasmere Gingerbread, walk by the River Rothay, which flows through the village, or visit the Heaton-Cooper art gallery.
