Grasmere is a charming village in the heart of the Lake District National Park and is probably Cumbria's most popular village, once the home of William Wordsworth. Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount, two of his former homes, are open to visitors. Grasmere caters for 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, although the farms around Grasmere are much older. The Church dates from the 13th Century, where the churchyard contains the Wordsworth family graves, now one of the most visited literary shrines in the world. Also see Grasmere.
