Guide and Virtual Tour of The Lake District: Sunrise at Grasmere.
Panorama | Review | Map
Wordsworth described Grasmere as the 'lovliest spot that man hath ever found'. I presume he was speaking of the lake, not the village. Although the village is pleasant enough, being surrounded on all sides by wooded fells. Another prime spot for buying those must-have tourist gifts, coffees and cakes or fell walking gear.
Grasmere is slap bang in the middle of the Lake District and so provides great access to many of the more appetising fells, if climbing up them is your thing. For instance, Helvellyn (the third highest peak in the Lake District) is just to the north and east.
The village is at the northern shore of Grasmere lake, from which you can walk over Red Bank and Loughrigg Tarn to Ambleside. Thirlmere is to the north: a long, dark lake used for water supplies to Manchester.
