Sarah Nelson invented Grasmere gingerbread in 1854, and it’s unlike any other gingerbread you’ve ever had. It’s gooey in the middle and crumbly on top, like a sweet-spicy hybrid between a cake and a biscuit. People come from all over the world to partake in this activity.
Simply drive, or take a bus to Grasmere and find Sarah’s cottage tucked between St Oswald’s Churchyard and the Wordsworth Hotel.
