Wordsworth Grasmere

I went to Grasmere to see Wordsworth's former residence Dove Cottage. I passed by when I came to the Lake District last time but didn't go in to see it. This time I can visit National Art Pass for free, so I can't miss it. I changed the ticket at the ticket office, and knocked on the door a few times to the small white house (that is, Dove Cottage), and a staff member will lead the guided tour. The very pocket garden next to the white house, the sun is shining, I really want to go in and sit and read a book all day!

The Wordsworth Museum is mainly a museum of what literary artist is. There is no contact with British and American literature, so you can only take a look at the flowers, and there is nothing special.

Grasmere is the place where the famous Romantic poet was born and slept. William Wordsworth, the motto "Plain living and high thinking (Simple life, noble thinking)" of Keble College, Oxford University is from him. His former residence and several houses he used to live in were kept intact, including Rydal Mount, where he lived in his later years. The car dealership takes about 20 minutes and gets off at Dove Cottage. (Be careful not to get off at Grasmere) There is no platform, just a pole with a timetable. A humble white cabin is where Wordsworth was born in 1770, also known as Dove Cottage, and many of his works were born here, and he calls it "the loveliest spot that man hath ever found". The poet's childhood was very bumpy, I think it must be the beauty of the lake area that inspired his love of nature and creation. The tours here are very well organized. All visitors must participate in the guided tour, led by the staff. Every time you enter a room, you will explain the story and the history of its furnishings. The tour guide tour is every half an hour. If the next batch is not yet there, you can go to the museum next to it first, so it is recommended to buy a pass for the pigeon house and the museum.

不一定是华兹华斯诗歌的爱好者才适合到鸽子农舍和华兹华斯博物馆参观。鸽子农舍是英国最受喜爱的诗人——华兹华斯的家园。摆设和物件几乎和华兹华斯在18世纪末入住之后是一样的，不防在那听听导游讲述他的家庭生活和那些有名的拜访者。博物馆将带您追溯回华兹华斯当年的生活,还可以在那一探他的罗曼史。

华兹华斯所描述的“湖区”是英国旅行的首选之地，它不仅因为其景色之美，生态之平衡，而且还因为他是浪漫主义诗人和各类艺术家的灵感发源地。确实，在湖区这样美丽、宁静又安逸的地方，不创造出浪漫与文艺才会让人感到奇怪。 　当今爱旅游的人有句“潮语”：临死前必定要游的景点有英格兰的湖区。因为它被《国家地理杂誌》列为“人生中五十个必去的地方之一”。湖区位于英格兰西北坎里亚郡，毗邻苏格兰，方圆二千三百平方公里，一九五一年被列为英格兰国家公园。 　　旅客可搭乘大游船，泛小舟，陆路租车沿岸走，各适其适，都可饱览湖区的森林、山脉、丘陵、小镇小村、牧场、林间小道、断崖、瀑布、餐厅、旅社；也不难见到鸿鹄嬉水；暑天时，更可一会于最近十年间才到此栖息的鹗。几十年前的湖区颇荒芜，今天旅客多了点，一些传统家族式售卖糖果饼食的商店，门前时有大批包团旅客聚集喧哗，令其他旅客难进店内购物，秩序差了点，但大体上湖区仍能保持宁静安谧，并未受到太多的污染。

华兹华斯是英国一位著名的诗人，他的地位很高，因此特地给他建筑了一个博物馆，华兹华斯博物馆坐落在一个小村里，里面很多的作品都是小村的缩影，真的很值得前来。

华兹华斯博物馆是纪念著名诗人华兹华斯的，这里真的太美了，仿佛一片仙境，或许英国湖区的闻名世界也与这个地方有关。这里景色真的很棒，很适合前来。
