The Gingerbread Shop is right next to St Oswald's Church that has William Wordworth's grave. You can smell the gingerbread as you approach. The gingerbread is delicious - especially warmed in the oven!

Sightseeing
Visit William Wordsworth's home where he lived with his sister and later his wife and family. A pretty little hamlet with some sites unchanged since Wordsworth's time. The guides are very knowledgable. In 2021, the Wordsworth museum is due to open. You can book and pay online.
