Museums aren't all cobweb-covered cabinets and dull displays. Make your way to Wordsworth Museum and be educated and entertained. Each piece has a story waiting to be uncovered.

This museum in Ambleside is popular with fellow travelers, so make a spot for it on your travel itinerary. Don't stop there, though. There are loads more spots ready for you to check out after Wordsworth Museum. Lake Windermere, Grasmere Lake & Rydal Water, and Grizedale Forest are close by.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (129 reviews)

We stayed in Owls Burrow. The Room was lovely. Cheesecake in a dome on arrival. Jug of water. Tea and Coffee Facilities. Nespresso Machine. Dressing Gowns. Fan if needed. Complimentary Toiletries to use while staying. Mattress comfortable. However 3 of the pillows were lumpy or flat. Be aware that the room faces a busy road. So I was kept awake all night as I am a light sleeper. Unplugged the fridge as it only had fresh milk in. Too noisy to have kept on. We went down for breakfast. We chose a full english. It was adequate but not worth 15 pound. Drinks extra. The poached egg was not runny. Bacon was fatty.
