Walk with Wordsworth in the Lake District
How many of us will walk 175,000 miles in a lifetime? Some of us are probably on the way to that goal. But even the most fit and active may not get there. William Wordsworth did. He walked and composed most of his poetry on foot. His life long love of nature began in childhood and continued all his life. His love of the meadow, the woods, and the mountains became the major subjects of his verse. He message still gives us meaning, such as. “Nature never did betray,The heart that loved her.”

Wordsworth spent years wandering only to return to his native Lake District. A vacant inn known as the Dove and Olive Branch became his “Dove Cottage.” His time living at that this simple cottage was his most productive.
After a decade of writing and prosperity, Wordsworth moved his family to Rydal Mount and gardens, a spacious 16th century Tudor cottage. You’ll find his house and surrounding gardens much the same as when Wordsworth’s green thumb designed them.
