Dove Cottage, Grasmere Dove Cottage is best known as the home of the poet William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy Wordsworth from December 1799 to May 1808, where they spent over eight years of "plain living, but high thinking". During this period, William wrote much of the poetry for which he is remembered today, including his "Ode: Intimations of Immortality", "Ode to Duty", "My Heart Leaps Up" and "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud", together with parts of his autobiographical epic, The Prelude. The Wordsworth Trust bought the cottage for £650 in 1890.

Cave interior - south of Rydal Water I've walked this way many times but never explored this cave before. It appears to be connected with a disused quarry hereabouts. There was water in the bottom, so you either had to edge around the side or use the stepping stones across the middle. It being half-term, there were numerous children making spooky sounds that reverberated around the interior!
