Wordsworth Grasmere comprises Dove Cottage, the Grade I listed former home of William Wordsworth from 1799 to 1808, and the adjoining Jerwood Centre. Rooms within the cottage display original furnishings and personal belongings, evoking life over 200 years ago.
The restored Garden-Orchard behind the cottage, which Wordsworth described as 'the loveliest spot that man hath ever found', features bluebells in spring and snowdrops in winter, alongside a wild woodland space for exploration. The Jerwood Centre houses over 90% of Wordsworth's original manuscripts, Dorothy's Grasmere journal, and family correspondence.
