A poetic escape. Grasmere, Lake District, Cumbria, England

Welcome to 'the loveliest spot that man hath ever found' Grasmere in the Lake District, England. Known for its connections to the 'Lake Poets' like William and Dorothy Wordsworth, the area offers more than just poetry—it's a feast for the eyes in autumn. Its name harks back to Old English and Old Norse, suggesting a lake flanked by greenery. For those up for more of a climb, hikes to the hill of Helm Crag provide a higher perspective of this place's beauty. The annual Grasmere Sports, dating back to 1852, includes the age-old tradition of Cumberland wrestling and fell running. And for the sweet-toothed? The legendary Grasmere Gingerbread, popularised by Victorian cook Sarah Nelson in the 19th century, whose recipe remains a guarded secret, is an irresistible treat.
