Grasmere - “The Loveliest Spot That Man Hath Ever Found”

The Lake District is a mountainous region in North West England, famous not only for its lakes, forests and mountains, but also for its associations with the early 19^th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the other so called Lake Poets, including Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey.

Grasmere is one of the villages in the Lake District. William Wordsworth lived in Grasmere for fourteen years and described it as “the loveliest spot that man hath ever found.”

Grasmere Gingerbread is made to a “secret recipe” popularized by Sarah Nelson. Poet Dorothy Wordsworth wrote in 1803 that she and her brother William yearned for the gingerbread.
