Dove Cottage and the World of William Wordsworth

This afternoon we made our way to Grasmere, England, where our first stop was Dove Cottage-- home of poet William Wordsworth from 1799 to 1808. Some of Wordsworth's most notable works were written at this house, which had been a roadside tavern before he and his sister, Dorothy, moved in. Wordsworth married during the time he lived at this house and others also lived there with the family, including Samuel Coleridge. Many personal items belonging to Wordsworth and his family are on display in the house.
