Lake District: Dove Cottage & Wordsworth Museum Entry Ticket｜United Kingdom

Experience your perfect day out in the Lake District at Wordsworth Grasmere.

Begin your visit with a tour of Dove Cottage, brought back to life with sights, sounds and smells evoking memories of over 200 years ago. It was whilst living here, among the hustle and bustle of daily life, that Wordsworth wrote many of his greatest poems and his sister Dorothy kept her fascinating Grasmere journal.

Continue your journey through the Garden-Orchard, restored to resemble the 'domestic slip of mountain' which Wordsworth described as 'the loveliest spot man hath ever found'. The feelings of joy, solace and inspiration it provided can still be felt in this special place. The surrounding Woodland is a wild space where you can play, explore and notice the little details in nature that we might usually miss.

Then, head into the Museum, where you'll find a rich collection of handwritten manuscripts, journals, letters and personal items. Our Museum Galleries tell the story of Wordsworth's radical and creative life, with hands-on things to do for all ages, including a working printing press and quill & ink writing.

End your visit on the Viewing Platform, where you can pause and take in the stunning panoramic views of Grasmere Vale, described by Wordsworth as 'paradise'.

Whether you're a literature lover or simply curious, this experience offers a unique window into the poet's creative world and the landscape that inspired him.
