A ‘must try’ food sensation, spicy-sweet Grasmere Gingerbread® was invented by Victorian cook Sarah Nelson in 1854. Grasmere Gingerbread® is world-renowned to the Lake District and its deep roots in the culinary history of the region. Grasmere Gingerbread® is only made here by hand to the same secret recipe. Freshly-baked every day, this unique, iconic foodstuff has stood the test of time. The shop attracts tourists from around the globe to come and immerse themselves in the nostalgic atmosphere of The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop which was once a village school where William Wordsworth taught.
