Rydal Mount Garden

Rhydal Mount is a pastoral cottage, many of the walks being of turf. There is a terrace walk, with some scraps of natural rockwork planted by art; and displaying at the same time the taste of the painter in the arrangement of the colours, and the science of the botanist in choosing the plants. [Editor's Note: the Wordsworth family lived at Rydal Mount from 1813 until the death of Mary Wordsworth in 1859.]
