You are in a place that has inspired writers and artists for centuries

 

A home within a home...

our love within a love

This is how the poet William Wordsworth described his beloved Dove Cottage, set within its own 'home' of Grasmere Vale.

 

For Wordsworth visiting as a body, Grasmere seemed like 'paradise'. To the young man who chose it as his home, it was a place,

 

Made for itself, and happy in itself,

Perfect contentment,Unity entire.

It is here that he was inspired to write some of the greatest and most influential poetry in the English language.

 

Wordsworth set up home here in 1799 with his sister Dorothy. They were joined by Mary Hutchinson, a childholld friend, whom William marred in 1802. Three children soon followed, and so Dove Cottage became the Wordsworths' first family home.

 

Dorothy's Grasmere Journals, written during this time, provides a fascinating insight into life in Dove Cottage, how Wordsworth created his poetry, and how people in rural Lakeland lived in the early 1800s.

 

Despite his rural seclusion, Wordsworth was the leading figure in an age of new poetry and art that we now know as Romanticism. His presence here acted as a magnet to other literary figures of the day including Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Sir Walter Scott and Thomas De Quincey.

 

Today, the Wordsworth Trust owns and cares for Dove Cottage which you can explore through an entertaining guided tour.

 

Next door, the Wordsworth Museum tells that amazing story of Wordsworth's life, work and friendships in words, pictures and objects. Special exhibitions on a range of subjects are shown at most times of the year and are included in your entrance fee.

 

This Hamlet continues to act as a focus for art and literature today, with its writers in residence and programme of events and exhibitions.
