- Wordsworth House and Garden - Situated in Cockermouth, Wordsworth House is imaginatively preserved to show it as it was when Wordsworth and Dorothy lived here with their parents, three brothers and servants in the 1770s. Presented on the kitchen and dining tables is produce from the garden with a real fire burning in the working kitchen. The children’s bedroom is full of toys and dressing up clothes, and the Wordsworth Room is where you’ll find books and games to enjoy. Down in the cellar, the household’s ghosts are awaiting to tell their stories. William learned his love of nature and Cumbria while living here. Historically important there is much to learn here. From the High Sheriff of Cumberland, Joshua Lucock who built the house in 1745, to Sir James Lowther, son of Sir Lowther who built Whitehaven and its port, and of course Wordsworth himself. Fast forward to the 1930’s when the town of Cockermouth handed the house to the National Trust. On 3rd June 1939 it was opened as a Wordsworth memorial, becoming a Grade 1 listed building.
