Rydal Mount

Once I got back from Penrith and Orton, I decided to go on to Rydal Mount, a former home of William Wordsworth. It was his favourite home, and he lived there for 37 years. It was where he lived when his daughter Dora died, and where his wife planted the daffodils that were the inspiration for his famous poem. He landscaped the gardens himself, and they've preserved exactly as he had them.

I couldn't take photos inside the house, but the outside was worth it.
