Coleridge Cottage

Highlight • Historical Site

This cottage was home to Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge for three years from 1797. Whilst residing at the 17th-century cottage, Coleridge penned some of his finest works, including 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', 'Kubla Khan', 'Frost at Midnight', 'Christabel', and 'This Lime Tree Bower my Prison'. Iconic Lakeland poet William Wordsworth visited Coleridge here and thus the literary movement of Romanticism was born. These days, you can explore the rooms in the cottage, set up as Coleridge had it, and the wildflower garden.
