| This fine Georgian town house was the birthplace and childhood home of William Wordsworth. Wordsworth House is imaginatively presented as the home of the Wordsworth family in the 1770s. The house is a work in progress, providing exciting opportunities to see how it is being developed. It offers a lively and participative visit, with hands-on activities, costumed living history and music. The garden, with terraced walk overlooking the River Derwent, has been attractively restored to its 18th-century appearance. | | | | Large groups may be divided into smaller groups on arrival, to prevent overcrowding in house.
