Description
The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop is the only place in the world producing the original and celebrated Grasmere Gingerbread. It is baked fresh daily to Sarah Nelson’s secret recipe and has been since 1854! The shop runs a worldwide mail order service – visit www.grasmeregingerbread.co.uk for more details.
Grasmere lies in the heart of the Lake District’s National Park, just north of Lake Windermere. This world famous village is a classic tourist attraction; here is Dove Cottage, the home of the English poet, William Wordsworth. It is also the home of Sarah Nelson’s Grasmere Gingerbread Shop, tucked away in the corner of the churchyard of St. Oswald’s Church. Built in 1630 and originally the village school, you can’t help but soak up the wonderful aromas of freshly-baked gingerbread - no visit to the Lake District should be without a visit to this glorious little shop of gingerbread goodies!
