Once a home to William Wordsworth, Grasmere has become a highly poular tourist destination in the Lake District. The very pretty village buildings are mainly 19th and early 20th Century and well worth a visit.

Grasmere Lake is one of the smaller lakes. Its waters are navigable with private boats and rowing boats, but not powered boats.
