Tired of the rat race, commuting or staring out across streets and built-up areas with insufferable traffic noise and air pollution?

Then why not up sticks and come and live in Cumbria and work for the world-famous and unique Grasmere Gingerbread Shop in the heart of our UNESCO national park?

Recent retiree David Hartley-Lamb was sad to leave his place of work which he described as “full of character and history, such an important part of the Lakes and a piece of the world that is close to my heart”. He told his colleagues: “You are the best I have ever worked with, together and individually, what an amazing bunch. I will miss working with you all.”
