Dove Cottage, Westmorland

Dove Cottage Dove Cottage is a house on the edge of Grasmere in a green bowl amongst the high fells of Westmorland. The cottage is best known as the home of the poet William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy Wordsworth from December 1799 to May 1808, the cottage where they spent over eight years of "plain living, but high thinking".
