Those who are visiting the United Kingdom must have the Lake District on their must-visit list. This region is a hive of activity, and in its centre is the village of Grasmere. This place is where painters, writers and craftsmen come to be inspired. A famed poet named William Wordsworth once lived here, and he even called the garden by his house the loveliest spot. With such high praise, make sure to explore and visit his home, Dove Cottage. You can also check out the buildings that date from the 19th or early 20th century and savour baked goods from the famous Grasmere Gingerbread Shop.
