Lying between Grasmere and Ambleside, the Cumbrian village of Rydal
sits at the head of the picturesque Rydal Water in the very heart
of the Lake District.
Steeped in literary history, the Romantic Poet William
Wordsworth lived in Rydal for nearly 35 years and fell absolutely
in love with the scenery here. Visitors can still climb the rocky
outcrop at the western end of the waters of Rydal Head known as
Wordsworth's Seat, believed to be one of the poet's
favourite viewing points anywhere in the Lakes. And with good
reason -the serene shores, green fields carpeted with bluebells,
the towering heights of Loughrigg Fell… you sense you've
truly slipped into a natural paradise. Be sure to visit Rydal
Mount, Wordsworth's home, or wander the pretty landscaped
gardens he lovingly designed -complete, quite fittingly, with
daffodils 'fluttering and dancing in the breeze'.
