Rydal Mount: the Residence of Mr. Wordsworth, from an original drawing, 1850. Gardeners scything the lawn at the home of poet William Wordsworth, between Ambleside and Keswick in Cumberland, (now Cumbria). He lived at Rydal Mount from 1813 until his death in 1850. 'The Mount is..."a lovely cottage-like building, almost hidden by a profusion of roses and ivy"; and the view from the grassy mound in front of his house is very fine. Loughrigg Fell is seen immediately in front, with Nab Scar rising behind. There are several terraces at the back, from which the view becomes beautifully extended, overlooking the house. Windermere, as well as Rydal Water and Grasmere, is to be seen from this beautiful spot. Our...view is taken from the grounds in the rear of the house'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
