Dove Cottage & the Wordsworth Museum

In 1799 William Wordsworth went on a walking tour of the Lake District with his friend and fellow poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He fell in love with Grasmere and Dove Cottage and within a few months he had set up home here with his sister, Dorothy, to live the life of a poet. While living in this inspirational setting Wordsworth produced the most famous and best-loved of his poems including, 'I wandered Lonely as a Cloud, and Dorothy wrote her famous Grasmere Journals. You can take an informative and entertaining guided tour of Dove Cottage and hear about the Wordsworths' daily life and their many famous visitors. You can visit the Wordsworth Museum and experience a changing programme of displays and exhibitions The collection includes over 90% of Wordsworth's surviving manuscripts and a superb collection of rare books and art by over 4,000 writers and artists.
