Description William Green was relatively innovatory in choosing to depict Grasmere from Town End;
most artists preferred a more elevated viewpoint. This is particularly useful
because it is exactly the place from which William and Dorothy Wordsworth would have
seen Grasmere, nestled under Helm Crag.
