It was the home of William Wordsworth from to The house, which now belongs to the descendants of the poet, retains a lived in family atmosphere, and has changed little since Wordsworth and his family came to live here.
They rented the house from Lady le Fleming, of nearby Rydal Hall. Rydal Mount, in the heart of the English Lake District, lies between Ambleside and Grasmere and commands glorious views of Windermere, Rydal Water and the surrounding fells. The house, which was a focus for romantic literature, continues to be owned by the Wordsworth family and retains the feel of a lived in family home.
The house dates from the sixteenth century, although was enlarged over the intervening centuries, and even by Wordsworth himself. Wordsworth was a keen landscape gardener and the five-acre garden remains very much as he designed it. It consists of fell-side terraces, rock pools and an ancient mound.
Please check the website for further information, admission times and details about special events. We had an excellent afternoon going around the house and gardens. We had already been to Wordsworth House and Dove Cottage so wasn't sure about doing this house.
We are so glad we did, had an excellent tour guide Leo, who added much more information to the life of William Wordsworth and family.
Lovely house has a real homely feel to it , super tour guide for the downstairs and we were able to look around upstairs on our own. Despite the rain we were able to have a cup of tea under the gazebo! Well worth a visit. This was such an interesting and beautiful place. The garden is gorgeous. It has a wild feeling and around every corner, you find another delightful aspect. We loved it. Book Tickets. Road Directions North of Ambleside, 1. What's Nearby. Eating Out. Rydal Water.
