A NOVEL STAY

Wander lonely as a cloud with a visit to
Wordsworth’s Lake District! Start at his
home, Dove Cottage in Grasmere, where
little has changed since 1799; stone floors,
dark panelled rooms, open fire places and
many of the family’s own belongings remain.
Enjoy the refuge of the
cottage garden before
discovering the lakes,
mountains and waterfalls
which so inspired William
Wordsworth.

Walk through Poldark country, from
Botallack to Higher Bal. The spectacular
South West Coast Path conjures up the drama
of Winston Graham’s much-loved
novels. Following in the footsteps
of old smugglers, the path takes
in Cornwall’s rich industrial
heritage of mining, quarrying,
fishing and boat building.
