GRASMERE LAKE

One of the smaller lakes. Nearby is the village of Grasmere, another of the jewels that Cumbria displays to delight the visitor. The village is small, but packed with interesting features such as Dove Cottage where Wordsworth lived while trying to make his name. In the grounds of the cottage the Rock of Names has a list of initials carved into the stone, including those of Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy and the poet Coleridge. The cottage is now a museum dedicated to the Wordsworths. Nearby are their graves. Access to the lake is restricted so most people either walk along the pavement (sidewalk) on the A591 to view the lake, or climb the fells to enjoy the views.

GRASSMERE HOTEL

The Grasmere Hotel is a delightful small Victorian Country House Hotel and Restaurant set in the heart of the English Lake District and on the edge of Grasmere Village in an acre of informal gardens through which the River Rothay flows. The hotel retains the character of an English country house while providing modern standards of comfort and a warm friendly atmosphere that has encouraged many guests to return again and again.
