Wordsworth House rises majestically on Main Street in Cockermouth, a charming town on the edge of the Lake District. Built around 1745, the house reflects the understated grandeur of Georgian architecture: a perfectly symmetrical façade of sand-colored bricks, tall rectangular windows with classically framed woodwork, and an ornate yet understated doorway that evokes the sense of order and proportion characteristic of this period. The poet William Wordsmouth was born here in 1770.

Vandring

William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy were both born in this house (1770 & 1771 respectively) and lived here until 1783 when their father died.
The house is now maintained by the National Trust though it narrowly avoided being demolished in the 1960s and replaced by a bus depot before the residents of Cockermouth objected.
Only the desk in their father’s office is the family’s original 18th century furniture but the front part of the house has genuine 18th century furniture. The garden is superbly maintained by volunteers in a style appropriate for the time.
