There is much to do in the immediate area and no need to use the car on a daily basis with shops and local services just along the road, plenty of eating places and various good pubs close by you will have all your day to day needs on hand.

Walks from the door are too many to mention with both rambles and high level peaks accessible. Grasmere makes a splendid base for a holiday in any season and is always sought after being right in the heart of the lakes.
