Once home to William Wordsworth, the Georgian villa is surrounded by wooded grounds with wonderful lake and mountain views, steeped in poetic inspiration. Follow the rugged woodland walk, which dates from Wordworth’s time, to discover secret hideaways and historic garden features, such as a viewing tunnel. This year you can also enjoy newly planted borders around the house and a new orchard in the old walled garden. There are plenty of perfect picnic spots too, with views over Grasmere.

Check before you travel

Always check the garden’s website or call direct before visiting for up-to-date opening times, other ticket price options, and any one-off restrictions which may apply. Always take your 2-for-1 Gardens card with you. If you’ve booked your tickets under the 2-for-1 Gardens offer, show your card on the day to validate the booking. Please don’t make multiple bookings or share your 2-for-1 Gardens card – card misuse will invalidate your discount claim. You may use the 2 for 1 printed or digital card for admission only once per garden, per day. You cannot use the printed card and digital card at the same venue on the same day.
