The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop, nestled in a tiny 17th-century cottage, is a must-visit for its famous gingerbread. Invented by Sarah Nelson in 1854, this spicy-sweet treat is unique to the village and draws visitors from far and wide. The shop itself feels like stepping back in time.
Whether you’re stocking up on gingerbread or browsing other local treats, this charming little stop captures the essence of Grasmere. It’s a delightful place to experience a piece of Lake District history and take home a delicious souvenir.
