They were doing a 3 for 2 so I booked up and bussed and trained my way down there with the aim of a day on the hill and a day of culture at <a title="Dove Cottage" href="http://www.wordsworth.org.uk/history/index.asp?pageid=36">Dove Cottage</a>. I was so enjoying Grasmere, with its excellent real ales (Windermere, Cumbrian Bluebird), eateries (can recommend the Red Lion and <a title="Potted Out" href="http://www.grasmeregardens.com/page/potted-out-cafe.cfm">Potted Out</a>) and bookshop (<a title="Sam Read" href="http://samreadbooks.co.uk/">Sam Read</a>) as well as the poetry of Wordsworth that I wrote up this account in the B&amp;B that night, hopefully with a touch of the poet&rsquo;s style!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>An Account Of An Ascent</strong> <strong> Of Fairfield From Grasmere</strong> <strong> Via Stone Arthur And Great Rigg</strong> <strong> With A Descent to Grisedale Hause</strong> <strong> And Mill Bridge via Tongue Gill
