Grasmere is one of Cumbria’s most famous tourist towns, best known for the distinctive style of gingerbread that is still baked to the same recipe from the 1850s and sold in a little shop that almost always has a queue out the door. It’s a small but lively part of the area that has plenty of gift shops, pubs and cafes catering to the crowds of visitors arriving for day trips and longer holidays, with a history of notable occupants including the poet William Wordsworth. As well as the attractions in the town itself, Grasmere is also in a prime location for walking, with nearby locations such as Helm Crag, Easedale Tarn, Brackenfell and Alcock Tarn, Rydal Water and Grasmere lake itself.
