Discover the poet William Wordsworth’s Lake District and get behind the scenes for a memorable cultural experience. Follow in Wordsworth’s footsteps on a short guided walk, hear his poetry read aloud and uncover the history of the area. See handwritten manuscripts in the very place they were written, as an experienced curator brings the stories in the pages to life. Try your hand at writing with a quill and ink. Finally, soak up the incredible atmosphere of Dove Cottage, Wordsworth’s former home, during an after-hours visit with drinks and local food.
