The picturesque village of Grasmere, located in the heart of the Lake District National Park, is arguably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, who famously characterised it as "the most wonderful spot that man hath found." The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop, where the Wilson family has been producing gingerbread for over 60 years, is a must-see on any trip to Grasmere. A variety of stores, pubs, a 13th-century church, and Grasmere Lake are also located in the village.
