Grasmere Cumbria England United Kingdom

Grasmere

Grasmere is probably the Cumbria's most popular village, thanks to William Wordsworth. Today Grasmere is totally given over to the tourist industry, with plenty of gift shops, and places to eat and stay. Most of the buildings date from the 19th or early 20th Century, though the farms around Grasmere are much older. The Church dates from the 13th Century.
