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.

Popular places to visit

Dove Cottage

Visit the 17th-century house where William Wordsworth lived for almost a decade and wrote some of his most celebrated works.

A place where you can feel on top of the world, yet very humble at the same time. You're not far from civilisation, but this place enables you to tune out for a moment, and just one with your surrounds.

And just look at the gorgeous views.
