Grasmere
Grasmere is a small lake made famous by Wordsworth and his Romantic
contemporaries in the 19th century. Just over 1.6 km long, 0.8 km
wide and only 22.86 m deep it is not the size of the lake that has
inspired generations of poets and painters but the stunningly beautiful
location the lake finds itself in.
Grasmere takes its name from the Norse 'gris' meaning 'pig' (the woods
surrounding the lake were home to pigs). Grasmere is one of the most
popular lakes in the Lake District .
