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.
