Grasmere
Village |
|
|

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. |
