Trip to Grasmere, Lake District.

Two Saturdays ago, I went on another university-organized trip to the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. Grasmere is the little town we visited and this little village was once home of the famous poet William Wordsworth.
Before that, here are some pictures of the passing scenery as I rode on the bus to Grasmere. Since it is October, leaves are starting to change colour.

We made a pit stop at a small market town called Settle for breakfast.
Approaching our destination.

Below are pictures of Grasmere:





Walking around the town on a Saturday morning.
A garden dedicated to William Wordsworth.
A wedding at St. Oswald's Church.
Father and son on the bridge.
Crystal clear water.
So much green and nature to take in. It was beautiful.
After walking around Grasmere in the morning, the group gathered again at 1.30pm to go on a guided hike around the lakes.
Aren't these trees and moss-covered rocks beautiful?
There were plenty to see during the hike. Praise God for the wonderful weather because without it, the hike would not have been as enjoyable. 
 It was exciting to finally see one of the lakes after a long hike.





After a three-hour hike, I was exhausted but delighted at the same time because being in the beautiful nature that God has created was so refreshing.

  1. Two of my favorite shots from this batch are the first picture of the tree and the one of the backpack hanging on the fence post. The scenery surrounding you during the hike looks like it was stunning. Thanks for the eye candy. You're in my prayers.
