- Grasmere is one of the smaller lakes of the English Lake District, in the county of Cumbria.
It gives its name to the village of Grasmere, famously associated with the poet William Wordsworth, which lies immediately to the north of the lake.
The lake is 1680yds long and 700yds wide, and 70ft deep. The lake is both fed and drained by the River Brathay, which flows through the village before entering the lake, and then exits downstream into nearby Rydal Water, beyond which it continues into Windermere.
The waters of the lake are leased by the Lowther Estate to the National Trust.
The waters are navigable, with private boats allowed and rowing boats for hire, but powered boats are prohibited.
The lake contains a single island, known as The Island.
