Grasmere Butharlyp Howe
"A popular village location in the heart of the Lake District surrounded by high level ridge and fell walks."
Grasmere is the archetypal "honey pot" village, home to beautiful lakes and magical mountains. Formerly home to some of the most world-renowned poets that ever lived. Come and experience the magical environment that so inspired the likes of William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor-Coleridge and John Ruskin. However, you don’t have to be a poet to be inspired by the beauty of Grasmere. Visitors for many centuries have been captivated and charmed by the sublime balance of nature and man found in this corner of England. From the carpet of bluebells in the woodlands fringing the lakeshore to the autumn mist hanging shroud-like over the lake, each season brings with it a new delight to the senses. The village is home to an eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants, bookshops, art galleries and the world famous Gingerbread shop by the 14th Century church.
With its lofty peaks and shimmering waters, the Lake District has always been a magnet for thrill-seekers and explorers, making it one of the foremost adventure destinations in the UK. If you are looking for a more adrenalin filled break, YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe can arrange a huge amount of outdoor activities to test all levels and abilities. Activity days can be organised for groups of 10 or more with advance notice.
