Wunderschön hergerichtetes Haus im Zentrum von Cockermouth gelegen. Die Kinder können mit dem alten Spielzeug spielen oder sich alte Klamotten anziehen, fast in allen Räumen darf alles in die Hände genommen und erfahren werden. Es war ein schönes Erlebnis. Und auf keinen Fall den wilden Garten verpassen, zauberhaft.

Beautifully presented house located in the center of Cockermouth. The children can play with old toys or put on old clothes; in almost all rooms you can touch and experience everything. It was a nice experience. And definitely don't miss the wild garden, magical.
Staff were brilliant with me needing disabled access which does only go to the first floor but there is an audio guide for the second floor of the house if needed. With me being able to walk shirt distances I did not use the audio guide. The tour guide had a lot of information about the house and the Wordsworth's life while living there. The garden is not really suitable for wheelchairs at the moment but the house do have a wheelchair with larger tires that does work in the garden if pulled backwards.

This was our first visit to the childhood home of William Wordsworth and it was excellent. Our guide was friendly, informative and kept us interested for the duration of our tour, which lasted about 30 minutes. Thereafter, we were able to wander through the house at our own pace and even got to play dress up with some costumes (there were even costumes for adults!) so everyone could get involved.
It wasn't busy, but as we visited during term time on a weekday, I have no idea how busy it does get at the weekends or during school holidays.
There are toilets on-site and a small gift shop too, however there is no parking, but the nearest car park is only 300 yards away, we paid £4.70 for 6 hours (12/09/23) which isn't too bad considering how much some places charge these days! There is no cafe either but Cockermouth has several cafes, pubs and restaurants which aren't too far so you'd be spoilt for choice if you fancied something to eat.
All in all, a lovely way to spend an afternoon - learning about one of the greatest poets our country has ever had.
