Description

This was William Wordsworth’s best-loved family home for the greater part of his life, from 1813 to his death in 1850 at the age of 80. The house, which was a focus for romantic literature, continues to be owned by the Wordsworth family and retains the feel of a lived-in family home. Wordsworth was a keen landscape gardener, and the 5-acre garden remains very much as he designed it. It consists of fell-side terraces, rock pools and an ancient mound.

Happy couple married in June

The perfect and most romantic setting

Rydal Mount, home to William Wordsworth, must be the most romantic place to get married in the UK! A 5 acre garden with views over two lakes...the chance of getting married in the bottom of the garden and using the whole site to have different locations and 'moments' was truly very special. The setting is intimate and perfect for there 70-80 person wedding. The tepee in the Mound was incredible - and getting ready in the house before hand. And then late night drinks around fire pits....magical.
