Lake District

Grasmere

Wordsworth's valley, and still the most poetic in the Lakes.

A small valley with an outsized reputation, and one it deserves. Grasmere is tarns and hanging woods, hard fells rising immediately from soft fields, and light that changes hour by hour.

Our Grasmere places tend to be smaller and quieter — the collection's romantic corner.
