DOVE COTTAGE, GRASMERE Dove Cottage was the home of Wordsworth for seven years and bears traces of his care. Many of the flowering shrubs were planted by his own hand. The stones laid down in the garden are steps up its steep incline to a terrace higher than the cottage, over which he had a view of Grasmere Lake, and of Silver How beyond. When Wordsworth left Dove Cottage, De Quincey resided in it for many years. YRARBLI |
