Explore the house and gardens where William Wordsworth lived with his sister Dorothy and family from 1799 to 1808. The cottage captures the feeling of life here 200 years ago, bringing snippets from the Wordsworths’ diaries, letters and journals to life with sights, smells and sounds.
Wander through the garden-orchard and woodland to look for wildflowers in spring and summer, and snowdrops in winter.
Visit the nearby museum to find out more about Wordsworth’s radical and creative life. There are displays, hands-on activities and a range of items that belonged to the writer.
