After our walk at Ulswater we drove to Grasmere, where we stocked up on the infamous grasmere gingerbread, a favourite treat which is quite different from American gingerbread. We visited a number of shops including the garden centre. Before leaving the Lake District we wanted to take a final walk and we made a valiant effort to find the start of a walk but were scuppered when we did not have enough change for the car park. We drove part of the walk route and managed to find a free car park and complete the walk in a fragmented form. We walked around Loughrigg tarn, and This may be my favourite water. Despite the grey sky the tarn was beautiful and so well situated in the surrounding fields. The walk also took us through some woods, along a river, past a quarry and a small waterfall. An excellent way to end a wonderful trip.
