Rydal Mount, House museum in Lake District, England
The residence features traditional stone architecture with a white exterior and sits on four acres of gardens near Ambleside Road.
William Wordsworth lived at Rydal Mount from 1813 until 1850, making significant modifications to both the house and its surrounding gardens.
The museum displays Wordsworth's personal items, including his writing desk, favorite armchair, and original manuscripts in multiple exhibition rooms.
The property opens daily from March through October, offering guided tours of the house and access to the landscaped gardens with Lake Windermere views.
A concealed window from the Napoleonic Wars period, discovered during 1979 renovations, demonstrates historical tax avoidance methods of the era.
