Grasmere the lake sits in the valley between Dunmail Raise and Rydal Water, with the village on the northern shore and Loughrigg across the water. A path goes most of the way round. The fells that rise behind the village — Helm Crag, Silver How, and the Fairfield horseshoe — are a different walk from a circuit of the shore. Rowing boats are sometimes available from the village side in season; there is no cruise service of the Windermere kind.
