Dove Cottage

Small house at Grasmere in the English Lake District where the poet William Wordsworth settled with his sister Dorothy in 1799, and later with his wife Mary Hutchinson in 1802. Wordsworth wrote much of his best work here, including ‘Ode: Intimations of Immortality’, ‘Michael’, and ‘Resolution and Independence’, before reluctantly moving to a larger house in 1808. It is now a museum with manuscripts, portraits, and other memorabilia.
