The village of Rydal is best known for its associations with William Wordsworth, who lived with his family in Rydal Mount from 1813 until the death of his wife, Mary, in 1859. The house was bought in 1969 by Mary Henderson (née Wordsworth), William's great great granddaughter, and is now open to the public.
Nearby Rydal Water, barely a mile in length, is one of the jewels of the Lake District. Walkers - and photographers - can stroll along the lake shore, climb to the viewpoint of Loughrigg Fell, investigate Cathedral Cavern, an abandoned slate quarry, or follow the River Brathay to Grasmere lake
Close to Rydal Water and overlooked by Nab Scar is Nab Cottage, a substantial farmhouse with a datestone, 1702, over the door. Nab Cottage was home to Thomas de Quincey: writer, self-confessed 'opium eater' and the first editor of the Westmorland Gazette. His writing desk (and opium den!) can still be seen in the house. Another famous resident of Nab Cottage was Hartley Coleridge, eldest son of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. These days the house is looked after by Tim and Linda Melling, who provide a warm welcome in this most characterful of settings.
