THE GRASMERE LAKE

Arriving on the shores of the lake, on Red Bank Road, is the Faeryland (Tel (015394)) 35060) a charming tearoom with about à la carte teas, scones, sandwiches and homemade soups. Some tables come out on the terrace that overlooks the quiet waters of the lake. You can also rent here boats (£ 10 per hour for two people, forecast £ 20 of deposit). For a walk on the shores of the lake, continue your climb. On both sides of the road, the cottages are decorated in sumptuous gardens. Another eight minutes walk and on the left you can find a staircase that goes down to the lake, where you can enjoy a pleasant tour of families, walkers and cyclists. A pleasant and delightful walk.
