英国旅行 湖水地方 「グラスミア～ワーズワースが眠る村」 Grasmere in Lake District
英国旅行記
湖水地方のグラスミアの村には、観光客が必ず訪れる２つの場所があります。一つはセント・オズワルズ教会にあるワーズワースの墓。もう一つは、教会の隣にある、ジンジャー・ブレッドを売る店です。夏の晴れた日の午後、どちらも、たいへんにぎわっていました。

Tourists, who are visiting the village of Grasmere in Lake District, never fail to visit two places; the graves of William Wordsworth and his family in St. Oswald's Church and nearby Sarah Nelson's Grasmere Gingerbread Shop.
Widford St Oswald Part One Cotswold churches
Widford lies lost among the open fields a few miles along the Windrush from Burford. This isolated church can only be reached by following the footpath along the banks of the river from Swinbrook, as we did or if you have a little more time, from Burford in the opposite direction. St Oswalds stands on the site of a Roman villa with a mosaic now hidden beneath it's chancel floor and is surrounded by the bumps and hollows of the village it once served. Convention ascribes these deserted villages to the Black Death, in reality a more complex combination of factors such as climate and enclosure lead to a proportion of these desertions. However the Windrush valley suffered in both the 1348 and 1360 outbreaks and the chancel painting of the 'Tree Living Kings and The Three Dead Kings' painted at this time may be a poignant reminder of this tragedy. So if you would like to walk with us through the beautiful evening of a Spring day I am sure you will enjoy both the countryside and the fathomless history of this Cotswold valley.

Grasmere.
Went up to the Lake District with friends to do some walking amidst stunning scenery. Pity the weather was cloudy all week :(. Still, it has a lot of atmosphere, almost alpine, on a day like this. This video was taken on the way up to Alcock Tarn which overlooks Grasmere.

Grasmere is a village and tourist destination in the centre of the English Lake District. Grasmere takes its name from the adjacent lake, and has associations with the Lake Poets. The poet William Wordsworth, who lived in Grasmere for 14 years, described it as the loveliest spot that man hath ever found.
Before 1974, Grasmere lay within the former county of Westmorland. Today it is part of the county of Cumbria. The village is on the river Rothay which flows into Grasmere (the water body), which lies about 0.5 km to the south. The village is overlooked from the north-west by the rocky hill of Helm Crag, popularly known as The Lion and the Lamb or the Old Lady at the Piano.
A number of popular walks begin in the village of Grasmere , including the ascent of Helm Crag, a longer route up to Fairfield and a moderate 200-metre ascent to Easedale Tarn. The village is also on the route of Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk.
The A591 connects Grasmere to the Vale of Keswick over Dunmail Raise to the north, and Ambleside to the south. In other directions, Grasmere is surrounded by high ground. (As of Christmas 2015, the A591 was washed away on the Keswick side of Dunmail Raise, resulting in a long detour. It was reopened in May 2016.) To the west, a long ridge comes down from High Raise and contains the lesser heights of Blea Rigg and Silver How. To the east, Grasmere is bordered by the western ridge of the Fairfield horseshoe.
Grasmere is served by the Stagecoach 555 bus service connecting towns in and near the Lake District, such as Keswick and Lancaster. In summer it is also served by an open top double-decker 599 service, operated by Stagecoach, which runs between Grasmere and Bowness-on-Windermere.
Grasmere's famous Rushbearing Ceremony, centred on St Oswald's Church, has ancient origins. Grasmere is now home to the winner of the 'Get Started Award 2014' awarded by the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs, the Handmade Chocolate Shop. Today's Grasmere Gingerbread is made to a secret recipe popularised by Sarah Nelson (1815–1904).
