Rydal Mount is the historic home of the Wordsworth family. The poet, William Wordsworth, was a talented landscape gardener as well as a poet, and the Rydal Mount garden is the largest example of his design. The garden stretches over 5 acres, including terraces that Wordsworth built, informal herbaceous borders, trees planted by the poet, and a wonderful range of traditional lakeland plants.
