Rydal Mount is a house near Ambleside in the Lake District. This is much larger that the Dove Cottage and was bought by Wordsworth, as his means grew larger. He lived here from 1813 till his death in 1850.

Skiddaw mountain, the town of Keswick and Derwent Water in the picturesque Lake District. William Wordsworth lived in this region for most of his life and drew much inspiration for his Nature writings from these pleasing surroundings.

Helm Cragg is a short but beautiful walk from the lake. Loughrigg Fell is a popular choice for rambles. It arguably commands the best views of the lake and stands close to Ambleside, where Wordsworth lived in later years.
