October Walk at Grasmere


Our next walk will be on Saturday 11th October to the ever popular area of Grasmere, famous for Gingerbread and William Wordsworth. It has been a regular venue for the club because of its wonderful views, variety of walks and variety of shops and refreshment venues.

Grasmere is a charming village right in the heart of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England and was once the home of the famous poet William Wordsworth; today you can visit two of his former homes - Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount. Also in the centre of Grasmere is St. Oswalds Church, the churchyard of which contains the Wordsworth family graves.

The coach will leave the back of Iceland at 8.00am on Saturday 11th October 2008. Pre-booking is essential through the Church office, but there are often spaces available for visitors (or for those unable to walk but wishing to visit with us).
There will probably be 3 parties;

  • A ?
  • B led by Joan & Shirley
  • C led by Heather
More details will be available nearer the date, but should be 'on site' by 4th October.

We last visited Grasmere on 11th November 2006 when we had a drizzly misty day as shown by the photograph below.
