Grasmere

Set alongside Grasmere Lake, Grasmere is shrouded by a panorama of fells and mountains. Grasmere is perhaps best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found."

For those looking for a Multisport challenge, we are also hosting Sprint and Standard Duathlons on the Sunday and more information can be found here.
