Grasmere is a historic village at the very heart of the Lakes, west of Ambleside and north of Coniston and Hawkshead.
The village centre has a number of useful shops, market, tea rooms and a select few very good restaurants - including the Jumble Room which has been listed in the BBC Good Food Guide.
The famous poet William Wordsworth lived in Grasmere while writing some of his most famous poetry.
His former home can be visited at Dove Cottage & the Wordsworth Museum, and his family grave is one of the most visited literary shrines in the world.
Although hugely popular with tourists and walkers, Grasmere remains a relaxed village location with a real air of history.
In the village you can explore the legacy of artists who've been inspired by the landscapes around the village - of particular note is the Heaton Cooper Studio.
A holiday cottage in Grasmere provides easy access to no end of fabulous Lake District walks.
Try the route up to Easedale Tarn in the fells above the village, visit the shores of nearby Rydal Water, or take on Fairfield, Silver How or Loughrigg to name but a few!
