Rydal Mount
Enjoy visiting an independent family home of one of the world’s most famous poets – William Wordsworth.
Rydal Mount and gardens is now the family home of the poets direct descendants and has established itself as a world famous attraction.
Wordsworth was a “man of nature” and his beautiful self-landscaped gardens reflect his poetry and his romantic attitude.
The garden has recently been shown to still be very close to the poet’s original design and is the only property where you can see the largest lake – Windermere, and the smallest lake – Rydal Water.
Experience the house and garden and relax with tea, coffee and homemade cakes in the tearoom or enjoy quiet moments in the magic garden.
