Where is Grasmere?
Grasmere is in the central lakes just north of Ambleside on the main A591 route that links the north and south lakes (Keswick - Grasmere - Ambleside - Windermere - Kendal). There are good buses that travel this route.
Parking is slightly more awkward in summer. You may need to take the bus or rely on laybys on the A591!
