View from Rydal Mount


This photo should be positioned earlier. Wordsworth and his family moved to Rydal Mount, a much more substantial pile than Dove Cottage, and this is the view from the front porch--towards Windemere. Coleridge also visited. Gardens--Wordsworth was a great gardener and there is a path that winds up the top where Wordsworth used to walk and recite his poetry. All along this path you can see amazing views. it is so clear how much landscape, walking and poetry is all connected.
