Dove Cottage (Cumbria)

    Cumbria, Lake District home of William Wordsworth

    Today, about 70,000 people visit Dove Cottage, a Grade 1 listed building, every year. All visitors are offered a guided tour, telling the story of the house and family. Many of the Wordsworth’s household items: furniture, family possessions and portraits are displayed. The garden (open, weather permitting), Wordsworth’s ‘domestic slip of mountain’, has been restored to the half wild state that he and Dorothy lovingly created from local plants and materials.
