The Arbour, Dove Nest, Rydal, Cumbria

This unassuming little garden arbour has provided shelter for some of the greats of the 19th century – although the name of only one will be widely recognised today. It was built as a retreat in the grounds of a little villa called Dove Nest, which overlooked the great lake of Windermere. Continue reading The Arbour, Dove Nest, Rydal, Cumbria

Visiting Rydal Mount, William Wordsworth's house, in the Lake District (UK). Some interesting artefacts in a beautiful house.

I'm thinking (being the Mystrader I am) that this would make a lovely setting for Mycroft’s country property.

The following might be of interest, @ltwilliammowett

The sword given to William Wordsworth's brother, John, in 1804, the year before his death, for his actions during a skermish with the French.

The Lake District is beautiful, even in the rain. I'm thinking I need to set a story up here soon.

"Fairie Stair" At the bottom of Wordsworth's garden at Rydal Mount rests a stairway long forgotten. I can picture all manner of ancient folk treading these moss covered steps. KClarkPhotography

“Your mind is the garden,  your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds.” – William Wordsworth

Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.

William Wordsworth

The popular myth that William Wordsworth was, first and foremost, a poet of daffodils, Wordsworth’s Gardens and Flowers: The Spirit of Paradise provides a vivid account of Wordsworth as a gardening poet who not only wrote about gardens and flowers but also designed – and physically worked in – his garden.

Peter Dale and Brandon C. Yen are both struck by Wordsworth’s attitude to the fate of the wilder flowers. For the former, Wordsworth was ahead of his time, anticipating recent disquiet over “the controlling, miniaturising, shears-wielding, roadside verge-purging tendencies of one of our own contemporary landscape mindsets”. For the latter, Wordsworth’s comments on Rydal Mount’s untidy plants are of a piece with his objections to the controlling trimness of his own day – with Hannah More’s restrictive tracts and the so-called improvements to Georgian landscapes and minds. Where Dale imagines what kind of plants might be swept away from the well at Rydal – “the ferns, the splodging mats of Mile-a-Minute, the pennyworts, all those things that like a damp spot – Sagittaria, Lords.
