Shops to visit

At Heaton Cooper Studio (above left), peruse a vast array of art supplies before heading to the archive gallery, where works focus on capturing the mountainous local landscape (heatoncooper.co.uk). For a sweet but spicy souvenir, The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop (above right) attracts visitors from around the world – and once you’ve nibbled a slice of their traditional confection, you’ll understand why (grasmeregingerbread.co.uk).
